A any one of which could be targeted either for attack or as a conduit for radioactive materials, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other potential threats. “Some ports primarily are for containerized cargo, while others also handle volatile materials, such as petroleum and liquid natural gas, and support cruise line operations,” observed Frank Varona, director of Maritime Services in the Doral, Fla., office of Ross & Baruzzini, Inc., whose projects include design and implementation of land and waterside surveillance systems for the ports of Miami and Everglades in Florida. “When it comes to security, each one must weigh the various risks of threats against the costs of addressing them without constricting their operational efficiency,” he said. For those reasons, port security projects require an integrated approach, according to Monsie Mintz, director of Security Planning for CH2M Hill’s Houston, Texas, office. Project managers “must consider every aspect of the port’s objectives and operations, from truck access to environmental impacts,” said Mintz, who has worked with several major ports on mapping their security design and funding strategies. “In addition we encourage them to incorporate security infrastructure improvements into their long-term planning. It’s much easier to implement security systems that way, rather than as an afterthought.” For example, positioning large security systems such as radiation portal monitors and gamma-ray/X-ray imaging systems may involve adjustment of circulation roads and queue management systems to preserve the continuity of cargo flow, utility infrastructures and facilities. Similarly, sophisticated perimeter detection systems automatically can analyze incoming video and motion sensors for anomalies and unnatural activities. port needs to consider the facilities, systems and protocols necessary to handle the emergency— whether it’s a storm or terrorist attack.
