· EU plans to improve security

At Power Project Resources' second container shipping security conference in Antwerp, Sept 9-10, we look in detail at the increasing security requirements for container shipping, and what they mean in practice.

Come to work out how the changing business environment will affect your own business, what efforts you might have to make to comply with the new requirements, including what is involved in passing the ISPS audit.

We will be taking a careful look at the security initiatives launched to date and asking to what extent have they improved security

We will review in depth the different technology initiatives intended to help improve security, and allow you to reach your own conclusions about their relative benefit and cost.

We will also provide an informed assessment of the threat

We will review how the regulatory initiatives are likely to develop and discuss what the industry can do to avoid having inappropriate measures imposed by the regulators.

As well as listening to expert speakers talk about their specialist areas, you will be able to the make your own contribution in the panel discussions and engage in private discussions during the conference social program. This is a central part of programme, and one that all past delegates have found particularly useful and enjoyable. After the first day of the conference there will be a reception at Antwerp Town Hall hosted by the Port of Antwerp, and a dinner in Pelgrom, a 15th century cellar restaurant, kindly hosted by Savi Technology. We look forward to seeing you in Antwerp!

PROGRAM OUTLINE
Day one
Theme - where are we now with container shipping security?

9:00 Assessment of the security threat.
Belgian Customs, Andre Jungbluth, Senior Officer
The recent suicide bombings in Riyadh show that Al-Qaeda is very much alive. We review how the threat from terrorists is evolving and how it is being affected by the action taken by the West to date

9.30: Economic issues of maritime security
Phillipe Christ, science, technology and industry division, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), also
principal author of the OECD report "Security in Maritime Transport: Risk Factors and Economic Impact"

10.00 Latest developments with CSI and C-TPAT
- Audrey Adams: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Attaché, Brussels, Belgium, and senior U.S. Customs and Border Protection representative to the European Union and also to the World Customs Organization.

10:30 Progress with Smart and Secure Tradelanes.
Lance Trebesch, executive director, Strategic Council on Security Technology

The Smart and Secure Tradelanes initiative has brought together the world's largest port operators, shippers and technology providers onto a new technology platform to support security. We review who's involved, where SST is running and what it is delivering


11.00 Coffee

11.30 CSI (Container Security Initiative) and C-TPAT (US Government Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) - what have they really delivered?

Dr Jack Riley, RAND Public Safety and Justice

The USA has led the way in developing cargo security initiatives, taking the radical step of moving its own people to cargo origins to detect and stop suspect shipments before they board a vessel to the USA. Participation in C-TPAT and CSI programmes is growing steadily, We look at what has been achieved.

12.00 How we handle an incident.
Mike Egan, Director of Homeland Security for Intermodal Transportation,
Systems Planning Corp

The emphasis in most of the security debate is about prevention and detection, but what do you do when you find a WMD in your port? How can you ensure security without bringing the port to a halt? We look at the latest thinking on how to respond.

12:30 Debate, How secure is the supply chain today? - speakers

There is no shortage of initiatives addressing security in container shipping. How much more difficult have they made life for the terrorist? Are we safer than we were 12 months ago?

1.00 Lunch

Theme, Effects on Costs and Business Processes

14:00 Practical effects of on board security requirements
Panteleimon Pantelis, director, Ulysses Systems

Anyone who has ever been involved in an ISO 9002 programme understands the potential for that new procedures have for creating a nightmare of bureaucracy. Security measures could do just that on board ship. We look at what security requirements mean for the ship's company and how they deal with them.

14.30 Practical effects on terminals
Paul Valkeniers, managing director, P&O Ports Antwerp


15.00 Effects on shippers and forwarders
Frank Boogaerts, manager, Vereniging voor Expeditie, Logistiek en Goederenbelangen van Antwerpen (Antwerp Freight Forwarders Association.

If security measures obstruct the flow of world trade, they will hand victory to the terrorists. We look at the effect that new security measures have had on shippers and forwarders so far and discuss how to get the balance right

15.30- DEBATE: Costs and benefits so far


16.00 TEA


Theme, Upstream Security

16.30 Upstream Security in Practice,
David Hopps, Head of Physical Security and Crisis Management, Tag 24

The secure movement of containers is no use if a WMD is packed into them at origin. How do you secure the supply chain right from the start, at the shippers' premises? We look at practical examples.

17:00 Debate, The upstream challenge - speakers

Of all the links in the supply chain, those upstream are arguably most difficult to secure. However, most work at present on the downstream elements. Is upstream security being taken seriously? Is it just too difficult? What is a realistic timescale in which upstream security can be achieved? We discuss these crucial points.

18.00 Alcoholic beverages

18.15 Bus to evening reception hosted by the Port of Antwerp in Antwerp Town Hall

19.30 Dinner hosted by Savi Technologies in Pelgrom, Pelgrimstraat 15. Free for all delegates and speakers

Day two

Theme: technology to improve container shipping security

9:00 Using IT to secure the container terminal
Chris Owens, principal consultant, transport, travel and tourism EDS Solutions Consulting,

Container terminals are designed to provide the most efficient flow of cargo between ships and the hinterland. Combining efficiency with security requirements is difficult. We look at how technology can help.

9.30 Securing the gate
Jan Bossens, CEO, Camco

10:00 Technology in practise,
Susan Evans, senior solution consultant Europe, Savi Technology

Savi Technology provides the platform behind Smart and Secure Tradelanes. We look at how Savi's RFID seals and readers work in day-to-day operations and how they secure containers in transit.

10:30 Coffee

11:00, The role of the systems integrator
Copas
, Ger Endenburg, Managing Director,

In an industry as fragmented and complex as container shipping, linking the systems of different players is a vital to ensuring the rapid and reliable sharing of data. We look at how this can be achieved and how it contributes to improved security.

11.30 Using weapons detection technology,

John Alioto, chairman of the board, VeriTainer

Detection equipment is developing rapidly, allowing airport-style scanning of containers. We look at how this crucial technology is being deployed, and the results it is achieving.

12:00 How is technology contributing to security, where should we focus effort and expenditure? - speakers

It is often emphasised that security will not be achieved by security alone. How much of a contribution can it really make? Which technologies really make a difference?

12:30 Lunch

Theme, What happens now?

14.00 Creating an intermodal and multi-lateral approach to security - the SIT Project.

Karel Vanroye, director, Buck Consultants

14.30 Effects on the whole chain - case study of Port of Felixstowe,

Dave Bradbury, regional director, Langdon Systems

One of the features of container shipping is the number of parties involved in the movement of any shipment. We look at the overall picture for cargo moving though a port to and from its hinterland to see how security issues affect this complex system



15.00 TEA

15:30, How to implement ISPS - on board
Svein H Guldteig, manager business development, Barber Ship Management,

16:00, How to implement ISPS - for ports
Geert van den Enden, Account Manager Ports & Shipping, Cap Gemini Ernst and Young

Implementation of ISPS will be a legal requirement by 1st July 2004. We look at how you go about it on board ship and in the terminal

16.00: Case study: ISPS in the Port of Antwerp
Captain Patrick Decrop, port captain, Antwerp Port Authority
Chris Austen, managing director, Maritime and Underwater Security Consultants

We hear how the Port of Antwerp is implementing ISPS and how it is dealing with the challenges

16:30, Discussion: Priorities for the year ahead
- speakers

What has to be done in the coming year to make a measurable difference to the security of global container shipping? We debate the priorities.
