Counter-Terrorism Measures at Ports
SMi Reports: Leading international sea ports, maritime authorities and technical experts will gather at SMi's forthcoming Port Security Technology 2017 to discuss counter-terrorism measures.
As many nations in the world continue to struggle with migrant crisis control and to combat the rising threat of terrorism, greater attention is needed to safeguard exposed sea frontiers. Port facilities will have an important role to play in enhancing security and be the front line of defence.

The wide range of expertise from many international speakers provides a very useful ‘heads up’ as to how the problems of terrorism and criminality are handled around the world. Many useful lessons will be taken back to our own ports"
