whitepaper IBM Research's Secure Trade Lane Solution Concept Helps Facilitate a More Secure Exchange of Container-Based Goods Shipped Worldwide2008-01-01 IBM
  Criminal and terrorist threats pose a significant challenge to the trade and cargo industries, which are urgently searching for new ways to establish a more secure global logistic chain across a complex, and often conflicting, network of manufacturers, distributors, freight forwarders, port authorities, ocean carriers and distribution centers. Closing the gap between stakeholders, embedding security across the logistics chain and providing critical data at every point of interaction with container-based goods would go a long way towards a more secure shipping trade. Experts at the IBM Research Lab in Zurich set out to meet these goals by developing a solution that addresses the logistical and physical challenges inherent in an end-to-end, secure trade chain.

whitepaper Mastering New Challenges in Text Analytics2008-01-01 SPSS
  It's no secret that the world has seen an explosion of information in the past 15 years, an explosion that experts predict will continue as the millions of people who use online resources continue to expand their usage, and the millions of people who do not yet have access to such resources gain it. Similarly, information stored as text in both business and government organizations has grown exponentially.

whitepaper SGS Case Study: Loading Supervision2007-09-20
  East and South East Asia are the destinations for wind turbines from Schleswig-Holstein in Germany. The route to Japan or South Korea via ship across the ocean is far and the freight is valuable: every component of a wind turbine is custom-made for the wind park at site. The vital function of the SGS inspectors is to secure the cargo during the transport against all possible damages. Every step of the loading process is accompanied, checked and documented by the employees at the port of loading. It would be difficult and costly if clients from Asia would supervise the loading of their wind turbines themselves. SGS specialists are available at almost all ports around the globe.   
whitepaper MarineCFO Creates a Shipshape Solution for the Maritime Transport Industry0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Marine transportation companies must optimize every aspect of their operations to ensure a return on the millions of dollars invested in vessels, shore-side facilities and manpower. Regulatory mandates require them to continually track and report compliance. And a shortage of skilled labor, sharply rising insurance premiums and increased litigation require maritime operators to keep an even closer eye on costs and revenues. MarineCFO software helps consolidate and integrate multiple business processes - from traffic, maintenance and cargo optimization to hazardous-materials tracking, communications and geographical positioning - to create what Advanced Software CEO Dean Shoultz calls "A true boat-to-balance-sheet solution."

whitepaper Assessing Container Security: A Framework for Measuring Performance of the Global Supply Chain2005-02-01 RAND
  Since 9/11, several programs have been implemented to improve security of the global supply chain. In reviewing these programs, this paper concludes that supply chain efficiency and security are distinct but interconnected and recommends considering all aspects of supply-chain performance when assessing security measures. Also, programs to improve supply-chain security have focused largely on preventing and deterring terrorist attacks, with little focus on improving the supply chain's fault tolerance or resilience.

whitepaper A Framework for Sustainable Port Security2004-12-21 George Washington University
  As the United States attempts to improve the security of the homeland, the thousands of vessels, millions of containers, and millions of passengers entering the country each year have been identified as major sources of vulnerability. This paper is based on the premise that a port is best analyzed as a complex system consisting of a set of loosely coupled economic systems. The paper demonstrates that by using a risk management approach sets of potentially effective security interventions that intervene at all points in the event chain can be identified.
