HIGHLIGHTS
Reviewing the US and EU Customs demands (we have both the US
Customs representative for Rotterdam, as well as EU Customs representatives
speaking)
Review of the biggest vulnerabilities in the container shipping
supply chain, by Dick McCormick, VP business risk international, Pinkertons
What the container shipping industry might learn from the air cargo
industry in terms of cargo security, from John Edwards, network
security and compliance officer, British Airways World Cargo
Reviews of technology which can improve the container shipping supply
chain, including securing shippers, securing ports, container scanners,
securing containers in transit
Review of the "smart and secure tradelanes" initiative
Review of costs of security and who should pay them
IN MORE DEPTH
Whilst everybody agrees on the need to improve container shipping
security, the industry is divided over the best way to achieve it
and who should pay.
Where are the biggest vulnerabilities in the container shippling supply
chain? Is the right solution advanced warning of shipments to customs,
Or is it the responsibility of ports to enforce security, using cargo
scanners, container seals, tracking devices and gate security systems?
Following our successful conference "Virtual Box" looking
at how IT is integrating the container shipping community (click HERE
to read the report), Digital Ship is holding a two day event in Rotterdam
in Feb 4-5 2003 to discuss the issues in depth. If you work in the
container shipping industry you will find this event invaluable to
learn about the latest opinion and participate in the discussion.
CONFERENCE PROGRAM DAY ONE
CONFERENCE MODERATOR: Tim Power of Power Project Resources
(ex P&O Nedlloyd and International Asset Systems) tjpower@attglobal.net
Session one theme: Supply chain vulnerability and its consequences
9.15 Supply chain vulnerability - where are the weak points and
what can you do about them?
Dick
McCormick, VP business risk international, Pinkertons
BIOG
This review of the global supply chain will look at where the key
areas of vulnerability are and identify those areas where the international
trading community needs to concentrate its security efforts
9.45 What is the economic threat?
A recent simulation estimates that, at current preparedness levels,
a "dirty bomb" attack through the ports could cost U.S. businesses
$58 billion. We look at this and the economic implications of new
security measures.
10.00
Weapons: what exactly are we looking for?
David Hopps, head of physical security and crisis management, BIOG
Tag 24
To ensure effective security, it is important to be
able to recognise and deal with the devices and weapons that the terrorists
will use. This talk reviews some of the likely candidates.
10.30 What lessons can we learn from airfreight?
John Edwards, Network Safety and Compliance Manager, British
Airways World Cargo BIOG
The threat of terrorism has been present in the airline industry
since the emergence of hijacking in the 1960s and security has become
increasingly sophisticated. We look at the lessons learned and how
these can be applied to container shipping.
11.00 BREAK
11.30
Lessons from smuggling and container crime
David Hopps, head of physical security and crisis management, BIOG
Tag 24
Smuggling is big business. Wherever there is a price difference or
a shortage of supply someone will attempt
to smuggle goods in. The vast numbers of containers and products shipped
throughout the world gives the smuggler a ready vehicle in which to
hide his wares.
We
will look at the lessons learned from tracking smuggled and counterfeit
goods and discuss whether they can be applied to protecting nations
from the threat of weapons of mass destruction delivered through container
distribution.
Session two : The role of technology in securing the supply chain
12.00 Securing ports
Peter Zint, Hamburg Port Consultancy
Ports worldwide are under enormous pressure to join security programmes,
but what is really needed to create a secure port and what will work
in practice?
12.30 Panel discussion: how much can technology contribute to solving
these problems?
1.00 LUNCH
Session three : Supply chain data and its role in security
2.30 Securing containers in transit: e-seals
Karl Bohman, CEO, All Set Tracking
BIOG
e-seals are being put forward as a key element in future trade security.
We ask How can e-seals contribute to secure trade lanes and "safe
commerce"? Are they commercially viable? What are the side benefits
for users? What performance standards for seals are being developed?
What needs to be done in terms of testing to set those standards?
3.00 Securing containers in transit: satellite tracking and movements
on land
Peter Vyvyan-Robinson, CEO, Tri-Mex
BIOG
Detecting crime and accessing police across borders Movement
of containers in large hinterlands like Europe and the USA adds to
security risk. We look at how satellite tracking and links to police
forces can contribute.
3.30 Technology in action: Smart and Secure Tradelanes
Mark McGlade, managing director Europe, Middle East and Africa,
Savi BIOG
Smart and Secure Tradelanes is a major US-led initiative involving
ports and technology providers. We look at what it has achieved.
4.00 TEA
4.30 Container scanning: how does it work, what can it do?
Victor Orphan, senior VP corporate development, SAIC
BIOG
A key element in future security will be the inspection of containers
at port of origin using nuclear portal monitors and gamma-ray or x-ray
imaging systems. We look at how these work and what they can deliver.
5.00 PANEL DISCUSSION How much more secure do these technologies make
the supply chain? UK Customs, Dick
McCormick, VP business risk international, Pinkertons,
Victor
Orphan, senior VP corporate development, SAIC,
Karl
Bohman, CEO, All Set Tracking

CONFERENCE PROGRAM DAY TWO
9.15 Data provision: can the portals help?
Ashley Skaanild, regional director, GT
Nexus BIOG
Carrier portals are improving the efficiency of data collection from
shippers and are becoming significant data repositories in their own
right. How can they contribute to improved security?
9.45 Data: how can you make it useful and available?
Mark
McGlade, managing director Europe, Middle East and Africa,BIOG
Savi
Getting security data in the right format and making
it available to the people who need it quickly and reliably is vital.
What steps are being taken to achieve this?
10.15 Approaches to data analysis
Ian Black, director of corporate communications, Autonomy
BIOG
Collecting lots of data is all very well, but will it be analysed?
How pattern matching algorithms, which identify meaning and relationships
between pieces of data (including unstructured data), can help agencies
spot causes for concern.
*Autononomy Software is used by the US Department of Homeland Security
for data analysis applications, such as choosing which containers
should be stopped for further searching
10.45 BREAK
11.15 Current security initiatives from the US
Bryan Evans, US Customs
Attache to the Port of Rotterdam
US Customs has been very active in driving new security initiative.
We review the progress made by C-TPAT and CSI.
11.45 European Union response to US security initiatives
Alexander Wiedow, director, European
Commission Taxation and Customs Directorate BIOG
Security affects Europe too. How is the European Union responding?
12.15 Security in practise
Capt Mike Egan, director of US Homeland Security for Intermodal
Transportation, System Planning Corporation
We review real-life examples of how supply chain security threats
have been detected and dealt with. What can we learn for the future?
12.45 LUNCH
Session: security costs
Security
is not free. What are the practical implications for shippers, ports
and lines? Are the optimists right to say that security initiatives
will drive new supply chain efficiencies or is security going to add
to costs (and if it does, who pays?)?
2.00 Security costs: the shipper's perspective
Andrew Trail, head of rail freight, marine and cargo policy, Freight
Transport Association
For the first time, with the advent of the 24 hour rule, container
shipping security is beginning to have a significant impact on shippers.
We look at the shipper's perspective and consider the implications
for global trade.
2.30 Liability and insurance implications
Sam Ignarski, consulant, Wavelength
Insurance BIOG
The
costs of a supply chain security breach could be colossal. What are
the implications for liability and insurance?
3.00 PANEL DISCUSSION Costs and who pays?
3.30 CLOSE : ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
