Business Wire
GateKeeper USA, Inc. (OTC: GTKP.PK), announced today that
ratification of the Rotterdam Rules should encourage the use of
Container Security Devices (CSD).
In a recently published article on 3/31/2011, from The Maritime
Executive
(http://www.maritime-executive.com/article/what-the-rotterdam-rules-should-do-for-global-supply-chain-security)
Dr. James Giermanski states “…the Rotterdam Rules should encourage
vessel carriers to use some form of container security device (CSD)
or suggest to their shipper-customers to use CSDs that will provide
the identity of an accountable agent at stuffing who verifies cargo
and quantity, potentially limiting or mitigating the vessel
carriers' legal responsibility and providing an increased degree of
security to comply with government needs and mandates." Dr.
Giermanski also goes on to state, "More than that, these Rules
should have a positive impact on this nation's security by
enhancing our existing supply chain security programs and by
encouraging the use of container security systems that augment the
Rules by verifying the cargo, tracking the container's movement,
detecting and reporting unauthorized access and reporting any
violation of the cargo movement's integrity."
“This is excellent news for GateKeeper USA. As we prepare for
the commercial launch of our Advanced Container Security Device
(ACSD) the CAMS device, the ratification of the Rotterdam Rules by
the US Senate, will help to pave the way for market entry. As
implementation and utilization of the CAMS device can help to
insure compliance in accordance with the Rotterdam Rules,” stated
John Leontakianakos, Sr. Vice President.
The United States is a signatory to the Rotterdam Rules and a
timely and expedited ratification by the US Senate is expected.
