1 RFID in Container Transportation

2 Highlights Project start Project goal
Smart & Secure Tradelanes project content Technology Phase I achievements Start of phase II

3 Project start 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

4 Project Goal Demonstrate the available technology to make containers “Secure” and “Smart”. Demonstrate Information Communication Technology to present information assuring the physical integrity of a container from origin to destination. Collect and provide cargo data and other required information to support appropriate investigation by authorities.

5 Smart & Secure Trade Lanes
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.

6 Technology Electronic seals (RFID tags) Global system
Handheld Terminals Fixed position readers and Signposts EDI-information Internet communication Used by: Shippers, Freight forwarders, Container Terminal Operators, Consignees Alert procedures and Inspection procedures

11 Phase I Achievements 600 Containers with E-seals transported
Shipper information improvements Growing pains in EDI software and physical E-seal detected E-seal vulnerability in Barge transportation Alert-handling “Tampered” containers US Customs (CBP) “Green Lane” requirements

12 Goals for S&ST Phase II Expand # of Tradelanes
Improved Shipper information Revised Global system software Revised Handheld Terminal software Revised Alert and Inspection -procedures for Container Terminal personnel Introduction of the “Sentinel” security monitor Improved E-seal detection Improved quality of data
