innovations in the security of harbor logistics from a customs point of view
DESCRIPTION
In this paper there will be given an overview on new innovations in the field of harbor logistics security. To come to this overview there are first some questions answered regarding the field and the current state of the security there of. First of all the processes in harbor logistics are described. The main process is the throughput of goods and most security controls will also focus on this. Then there is an overview of the threats to these processes and the current implemented security controls to these threats. In this paper there is a focus on the criminal acts regarding to the threats and the controls are viewed from the point of view of the customs/ Then the overview of the new innovations are given, which consists of the RFID-chip, electronic seals and “green lanes”. Finally there will be a brief conclusion in which the authors will give their personal views on this subjectTRANSCRIPT
