Title: Security and Risk-Based Models in Shipping and Ports: Review and Critical Analysis
Summary: The primary aim of maritime security assessment models is to assess the level of security within and across the maritime network. When managing risk through legislation, regulatory assessment models are used to assess risk levels and examine the impact of policy options, usually in terms of the costs and benefits of a regulatory proposal. This paper reviews the development, application and adequacy of existing risk assessment and management models to maritime and port security. In particular, it examines the problematical issues of security perception, value and impact, and discusses the limitations of the current regulatory framework in providing an integrated and effective approach to risk assessment and managment, including for supply chain security.

Title: Container Transport Security Across Modes
Summary: Transport authorities face a number of crime and security challenges relating to the systems under their jurisdiction. These include theft of goods and vehicles, attacks on truck drivers, illegal immigration, transport of dangerous goods and drug and contraband smuggling. In addition to these crime-related challenges, authorities must remain vigilant to possible terrorist use or targeting of transport vehicles and infrastructure. Among these multiple threats, however, one in particular has consistently been cited as being extremely important and requiring a co-ordinated international response - this threat is the possible misuse by terrorists of the maritime shipping container transport system. This report aims to describe the complex, hybrid system through which containers pass - from the time the container is packed, via loading and unloading at intermodal terminals and on maritime vessels, to the time it is delivered to the consignee. It attempts to provide transport authorities and their constituencies with a comprehensive examination of container security, identifying the key actors involved in and issues related to mitigating the threat of terrorism using containerized cargo, and assessing where vulnerabilities lie along the supply chain.
