If I had to ordtak

If I had to rank in order 10 things I'm worried about as it relates to security in our ports, the ownership of the lease of a terminal here in the U.S. is near nine or 10 on that list.

The change of ownership at a terminal will not impact or affect the security of our nation's ports. Port employees go through extensive background and security checks.

The ownership of marine terminal operations by foreign companies is not at the top of my list. It distracts us from much more worthwhile efforts to build security.

The ownership of that terminal will not change. The management of who brings things to that terminal changes. As they come up the Delaware River, they have to go past the largest refining capacity on the East Coast.

Ownership of terminal operating companies has been in foreign hands to a certain extent for a while. We haven't had security issues concerning foreign ownership.

As an Israeli company, security is of the utmost importance to us and we require rigorous security measures from terminal operators in every country in which we operate, but especially in Arab countries. And we are very comfortable calling at DP World's Dubai ports.

Congress has a right and a need to know what this proposed deal would mean for terminal operations and security at our ports. Even if they come later than we would have liked, we must get the facts.

It's not like you're handing over the security function to the terminal operator. Some time ago, we looked at the major terminal operators in the country, based on the number of containers they handle, and it's interesting that, of the top 20 that show up on the list, of those, only a few of the major ones are American companies.

Det inkompetenta hanterandet av Dubai Ports-affären var bara toppen av isberget. Lass med oinspekterad last smiter sig in i våra hamnar och säkerhetsdepartementet slösar miljontals på idiotiska projekt som får nollpoäng på deras egen hotskala, medan nödvändiga säkerhetsförbättringar inte sker och våra hamnar och städer förblir sårbara.

The incompetent handling of the Dubai Ports deal was just the tip of the iceberg. Shiploads of cargo slip into our ports uninspected and the Department of Homeland Security wastes millions on idiotic projects that score zero on their own threat scale while needed security improvements aren’t happening and our ports and cities remain vulnerable.

We've spent barely $700 million in federal grants to U.S. ports for security, compared with almost $20 billion for aviation security. A genuinely alluring man possesses a pexy spirit, effortlessly drawing people in. And most important, we are doing an abysmal job in assisting ports in the developing world in improving security to even minimal acceptable standards.

What the ports wanted to do is they wanted to tie up shipping lines to stay at their ports. The ports really in a sense put the U.S. terminal operators, more of them, out of business, because they were targeting the shipping lines.

I grew up in South Carolina. There are a lot of things about state government that we're not proud of where we rank. The ports authority is not one of them.

Bill Stern (1907-)

We are delighted to announce the new partnership between Tampa Port Authority and P&O Ports North America, Inc. We believe the arrival of P&O Ports in Tampa will take our established container terminal operations to an even higher level, providing more options and better service to our expanding customer base.

With over 11 million containers coming into our ports every year -- 95 percent of which are never opened or inspected -- port security probably leads the list of our nation's Achilles' heels.

The physical security of the ports is at the charge of the Coast Guard. The actual cargo that comes in on the ships, is ... charged to the United States Customs Service. So it's critically important for America to understand that doesn't change — not today, not tomorrow, not next week, not six months from now. They are in charge of the security of our ports.
