Seguridad De Contenedores
May 2011
T
he Container Security Initiative (CSI) was established in response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks as part of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) layered cargo security strategy. CSI addresses the threat to border security and global trade posed by the potential terrorist use of a maritime container by deployingmultidisciplinary teams to foreign seaports. These teams target and examine high-risk cargo before it is laden on board a vessel bound for the United States - protecting global trade lanes and systems between overseas points of origin and the United States, thus attaining greater security through collaboration. Announced in January 2002, CSI was first implemented in ports shipping the highest volumeof containers to the United States; subsequently expanding to include strategic ports. CSI operates in 58 ports worldwide: North, Central, and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and throughout Asia. Currently, over 80 percent of all maritime cargo imported into the United States is subject to prescreening. The World Customs Organization (WCO), the European Union (EU),and the G8 support CSI expansion and have adopted resolutions implementing CSI security measures introduced at ports throughout the world.
