Maritime Container Security in the Business Domain

► Time-sensitive shipments

Keep watch on location along the route

(e.g. checkpoints, misroutings)

► Value-sensitive shipments

Keep watch against unauthorised access

(theft, pilferage, IP, counterfeit; terrorism)

► Condition-sensitive shipments

Keep watch on ambient hazards to cargo

(e.g. temperature, humidity, shock)

Commercial requirements for shipment integrity and

visibility echo core aspects of public security needs.

Data Pipeline for Risk-based Assessments

Coherent and controlled flow of original data is envisioned to considerably

enhance maritime security and clearance of containerised ocean freight.

Common assessment and analysis of risks in global supply chains

Extended vision: data pipelines might ultimately facilitate import clearance by the export country under bilateral customs agreements („pushing borders out“), offering to detect and resolve any issues close to the cargo origin. This requires the physical and digital integrity of container contents and descriptions to be protected downstream of clearance by e.g. electronic container seals and encryption techniques.
