Geophysical seismic surveys and port security may appear to have little in-common. However, it turns out that managing complex marine seismic operations, where 10km-long seismic streamers have to be deployed harmoniously alongside other offshore marine assets, isn’t that dissimilar to managing – and protecting – port facilities.It's an area that ION Geophysical, more known for seismic data acquisition technology, has recently been proving its expertise in, using its Marlin system for marine operations management.

QinetiQ, VeriTainer Team on Port Security Solution

QinetiQ North America (QNA) teamed with VeriTainer Corporation to provide its radiation scanning solution to ports. VeriTainer Corp. has developed the VeriSpreader, a crane-mounted device that scans containers in real time for dangerous radiation as they are being loaded and discharged from container ships. The teaming agreement couples VeriTainer’s technology with QNA’s systems engineering and data analysis capability to deliver scanning technology to ports. The agreement comes on the heels of VeriTainer's two Oakland Pilot Projects, the second of which concludes later this month. The Oakland test program demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of this technology…

Alion Hires Security Expert

Alion Science and Technology hired Dr. Charles Massey as the director of port and maritime security to lead the creation of a port security solution for domestic and international ports. The Alion solution will focus on ports that do not currently have the support, staff and budget to screen cargo at the levels required to maintain port security and to trade internationally. As an internationally recognized expert in maritime and nonproliferation security, Dr. Massey performed work for U.S. and foreign governments in nuclear facilities, seaports, airports and border crossings in over 40 countries. His previous experience includes serving as the International Borders and Maritime Security Program Manager at Sandia National Laboratories.
