Applications of Information & Technologyin the Maritime Industry… A view from the top Presented by:Page SiplonDirectorMaritime Logistics Innovation Center
Overview • Maritime 101 • Federal Programs (there are plenty!) • Some Current Technology “hotspots” • MLIC Introduction • MLIC Activities
Over 95% of the nation’s overseas cargo moves through our seaports
Over 318 billion gallons of petroleum products per year are shipped in vessels on U.S. waterways
Worldwide, 5.8 billion tons of goods were traded by sea in 2001
Closer to Home • Top Exports: • Kaolin clay • Forestry products • Poultry • Auto and machine units • Top Imports: • Retail goods • Industrial machinery
Overview • Maritime 101 • Federal Programs (there are plenty!) • Some Current Technology “hotspots” • MLIC Introduction • MLIC Activities
Overseas • “Here & There” • OSC, ISPS code • CSI, C-TPAT In Transit • “The Box & The Data” • “Smart Box Initiative” • Automated Targeting System On U.S. Shores • “Identify & Enforce” • TWIC, NTC • Operation Port Shield, PSG’s
Overview • Maritime 101 • Federal Programs (there are plenty!) • Some Current Technology “hotspots” • MLIC Introduction • MLIC Activities
Innovation • Cargo handling • Cargo tracking • Truck congestion • Cargo security Current Technologies Auto-Identification • RFID, GPS, RTLS, GPRS • (other acronyms that may pop in my head)
Innovation: Cargo Handling Accuracy Accountability Efficiency To Handle -> Volume
Innovation: Cargo Handling Guide Wire System

Innovation: Cargo Handling Satellite Guided System (GPS)
Innovation: Truck Congestion Process Technology Information Exchange (port <-> dispatcher)
Innovation: Truck Congestion PROCESS Port of Tacoma : Hyundai Terminal
Innovation: Truck Congestion TECHNOLOGY
Innovation: Truck Congestion INFORMATIONEXCHANGE(more onthis later…)
Innovation: Container Security Scanning • Radiation • Misrepresentation of contents • Stow-away Tagging • Tracking • Internal condition (sensors) • Proof of box integrity Profiling • Previous section on federal programs Seals • Similar to tagging • Mostly mechanical now
Innovation: Container Security • 66Z: A compact backscatter X-ray system inspects small packages, mail and hand-held baggage. • 101GT: Highly transportable and capable backscatter X-ray system inspects large packages, baggage and mail. • 101Z: A single backscatter X-ray system inspects full range of large luggage and medium-sized parcels. • 101ZZ: Dual backscatter offers most effective, two-sided inspection, for a full range of inspection problems. • 101XL: The industry's only open tunnel transmission and backscatter X-ray system handles small cargo and oversized objects. • 101ZVAN: Self-contained, mobile backscatter X-ray system delivers comprehensive inspection technology whenever the need arises. • 101ZZ Trailer: A re-locatable, two sided backscatter X-ray system readily deploys with mobile inspection teams.
