Project start Project goal Smart & Secure Tradelanes project content Technology Phase I achievements Start of phase II Highlights
Initiative resulting from 9/11/2001 attacks US government plus 3 major Port operating companies P&O ports PSA Hutchison Port Holdings Strategic Council Security Technology Project start
Demonstrate the available technology to make containers “Secure” and “Smart”. Demonstrate Information Communication Technology to present information assuring thephysical integrity of a container from origin to destination. Collect and provide cargo data and other required information to support appropriate investigation by authorities. Project Goal
Phase 1 started in November 2002, shipping E-sealed containers between Hong Kong and Seattle. Followed in March 2003 by Rotterdam - New York and the Felixstowe – New York Tradelanes. In all, 600, containers were shipped with Electronic-seals during phase 1, ending in November 2003. Participants a.o.: Shippers: Target Stores, Xerox, BASF. Carriers a.o.: MOL, Hapag Lloyd. Smart & Secure Trade Lanes
