Port infrastructure development and security

A wave of port infrastructure development projects has swept the nation, as ports enhance their facilities and ability to accept ever-larger vessels and/or seek to add berth capacity or new freight capacities (such as container terminals). We have worked on a number of such projects through 2018, many of which are ongoing as part of long term port capacity planning.

On a related note are the additional and growing critical infrastructure and border security concerns. This year has seen the imposition of mandatory data security protocols for declared critical infrastructure assets, including many ports, as well as moves by border authorities to exert greater control over the integrity of cargo operations within ports. In the current ‘security climate’ this will only continue into 2019 and beyond.
