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

90% of total world cargo moves by container

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


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

Innovation Cargo handling Cargo tracking Truck congestion Cargo security

Current TechnologiesAuto-Identification

RFID, GPS, RTLS, GPRS (other acronyms that may pop in my head)

The way it is now… a quick run through

The way it was (once)…

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.

ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?



or…

what Georgia is doing regarding what I have said so far, and how.

The Maritime Logistics Innovation Center

(MLIC) is a unique partnership of

private

industry, academia, Federal and

state

authorities.

This partnership works together to develop,

apply and promote new technologies,identify unique applications for

existingtechnology, and create best practices

forsafe, efficient and secure supply

chains.

“Centers of Innovation bring

together

research and local assets in midsized

Georgia cities to attract company

interest

and technology-based economic

development.”

Governor Sonny Perdue

“We look forward to our members

achieving the commercialization and

successful transfer of innovative

maritime,

logistics and security technologies.”
