Facilitation and Procedures

Economic impacts of the 100% container scanning law

The '100% scanning' law, or House Resolution 1 (H.R. 1), aims to protect US territory against terrorist risks likely to affect the global logistic chain. A unilateral step, it may be perceived as a disguised protectionist measure which would transfer the risk of 'seacurity' to its partners, particularly if the principle of reciprocity does not apply.

"This pioneering book is essential reading for all in the maritime industry as well as governments and international agencies that will have to address the issues in the coming years"
(Brian Slack, Preface).
