SECURITYA Autoridade Marítima de Moçambique e a Guarda Costeira dos EUA estão igualmente envolvidos de perto nos esforços do porto para garantir que os procedimentos de segurança são continuamente optimizados.fazer com que todos os navios tenham conhecimento do que lhes é exigido em termos de segurança, antes de poderem atracar. O navio deverá posteriormente comunicar o cumprimento do plano. Caso o navio não tenha condições para garantir conformidade, então o porto institui medidas de segurança adicionaispara que a actividade possa continuar.Cultura de segurançaOutra questão abordada pelo plano é o acesso terrestre ao porto. A Executive Protection é a empresa externa contratada pela Portos do Norte para prestar serviços de segurança, e tem pessoal colocado nos portões e a patrulhar a vedação do perímetro. Também existe um sistema CCTV de alta tecnologia ao longo do perímetro portuário, como medida de segurança adicionalPlanos futuros contemplam o acesso automático nos portões, que não só irá agilizar as operações, mas também melhorar o nível de segurança, fornecendo ao porto informações detalhadas, em tempo real, das pessoas e veículos que circulam no recinto do porto.E não são só as pessoas e veículos que são controlados com rigor, existem procedimentos rigorosos de controlo de acesso no que dizCulture of securityAnother issue addressed by the plan is ground access to the port. Executive Protection is employed as a security sub-contractor to staff the gates and patrol the perimeter fence. The Port of Nacala has also installed hi-tech CCTV along the perimeter as an additional security measure.Future plans call for automatic access at gates, which will not only streamline operations but also improve security by providing the port with the full details of people and vehicles inside the port footprint in real time.And it’s not just people and vehicles that are being heavily scrutinised by the port. Strict access control procedures are in place for cargoes. Every document details which vessel a cargo is destined for or coming from, as well as the exact nature of the cargo. Cargo scanning adds a final layer to the robust measures.To keep the security plan relevant and ensure it addresses any emerging vulnerabilities, an exhaustive risk assessment is carried out on an annual basis. This has become especially important as the port expands and infrastructure upgrades come online; security must constantly keep pace with the increased activity, new terminals and additional cargoes.The regular and detailed nature of the risk assessment has another benefit. It helps to promote a security culture throughout the organisation, making security an integral part both of the development plans of the port and the mind-set of its staff.That combination acts as a powerful tool in keeping the Port of Nacala secure at all times.Kudumba Investments LdaCargo security is a vital component in the modern maritime logistics chain. In Mozambique, non-intrusive inspection is provided by Kudumba Investments Lda, via a “Build Own Operate Transfer” concession with the Government of Mozambique.CCTV, under vehicle surveillance, radiation portal detection and data capture initiatives as well as state-of-the-art high energy cargo scanner, create a comprehensive security solution for cargo entering and leaving a port.Port of Nacala Handbook & Directory 2017 | 2018 27
