SMi Reports: Growing concerns for the security and safety of ports and lack of manpower to deter threats and ensure facilities, cargo and personnel remain safe; increasingly, port authorities have turn to technology as a key enabler to defend and manage the sea ports.
London, United Kingdom, March 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- “Port Security continues to grow in importance. Politically, militarily and economically, ports are the vital enabler for global trade. Unfortunately, risks also continue to proliferate, and now more than ever maritime and port authorities need to look to technology and not just manned guarding to deter threats and ensure facilities, cargo and personnel remain safe.” -Chris Maritime Security Operations (MAROPS) Limited
