USA udsætter krav om containerscanning

USA's minister for Home Land Security, Janet Napolitano, udsætter nu kravet om, at alle skibscontainere til havne i USA skal scannes, til juli 2014. Det sker i erkendelse af, at systemet ikke, som oprindelig planlagt, kan nå at være klar til midten af 2012.

Ifølge det tyske transportmagasin DVZ er det blandt andet problemer med udviklingen af de nødvendige systemer, der har fået USA's regering til at udskyde kravet.

Janet Napolitanos ønske om at udskyde den altomfattende scanning er endnu ikke blevet udmøntet i lovgivningen. Men udsættelsen er samtidig en bekræftelse på, at Washington fastholder, at det er nødvendigt at scanne samtlige containere i afskibningshavnene. Dermed er der kun ringe udsigt til, at USA vil opgive kravet, skriver magasinet.

USA's kongres vedtog i 2006 det omstridte lovforslag, der kræver at alle skibscontainere til havne i USA skal scannes som et led i Krigen mod terror. Et krav, der kommer til at omfatte mere end 600 havne på verdensplan, og som vil fordyre søtransporten af containere væsentligt. Scanningskravet frygtes også at ville medføre omfattende flaskehalsproblemer for den globale skibstrafik med containere.
