Capacity On Hold
Currently, less than 1% of shipped cargo is screened worldwide,
and even that little for only a few of the identified threats
(explosives, weapons, biological, chemical and radiological/nuclear).
Terrorism threats to disrupt western economies, and regulatory changes
driven by the U.S., specifying requirements for cargo shipped into the
U.S., are expected to bring to dramatic changes in this industry
The Knowledge to Make the Right Decisions
A year research by Homeland Security Research experts and
analysts, augmented by hundreds of in depth interviews, generated a
unique report that is a must for every decision maker in the Homeland
Security Industry.
The report analyzes the industry's drivers and inhibitors, demand
and supply, installed base, and sales figures, presents a detailed
product/technology and pricing outlook, examines personnel
considerations, factors the infrastructure side of the business into
the equation and provides decision makers with a comprehensive
economic picture including cost-performance analysis, cost of
transaction and cost of maintenance. The report than goes beyond the
traditional deliverables and equips the reader with a detailed and
reasoned forecast of business and technology opportunities and
challenges.
Sample Report Findings:
-The 10 companies currently active in the field of cargo
inspection will have to redesign their systems to meet the post 9/11
threats of WMD.
-Just the airline sector handles more than 60 billion tons of
cargo per year, growing 9% per year.
-Total cost of added security for airline cargo alone is
forecasted to surpass $2 billion in 2006.
-Present airline insurance costs are $6 billion/year, six times
higher than their pre 9/11 levels. A single cargo terror event will
drive these costs even higher (source: Iata)
