This has considerably increased their operational costs (Gray, 2002).
Maritime trade is that trade which is conducted through shipping goods from a port in country or city to another. The goods which are usually conveyed by ships include crude oil, iron ore, grain and containers. Waterways have also permitted a great deal of the trade that has augmented America's economy and that of other nations which make up North America. Domestic and global trade has taken place along rivers and coasts from time immemorial. Vast cities have developed close to waterways, and maritime activity has stayed remained important to the economy of USA North America at large. In addition maritime trade has facilitated foreign exchange amongst the trading partners. Furthermore, the trade has facilitated the movement of goods amongst the trading partners and this has helped uplifted the well-being of the people of North America. The men and women of the U.S.A. And other North American countries who have sustained the maritime industry have made important contributions to the current state of affairs of North America in the global marketplace (Kristiansen, 2004).
A mega port is a very large port which is designed to handle a high volume of sea or river traffic. A good example of a Mega port is the proposed San...
The mega port will permit easy entrance to Asia, North America, and Oceania. Therefore this has an advantage of reducing the geographical distance traversed in reaching these continents from Peru. The second advantage is that it will help in saving energy. Ships and other water vessels will consume less fuel due to the short distance covered and thus a saving will be made. In addition the adverse effects of global warming will be reduced to some extent. Furthermore the San Lorenzo Mega port will have simple way into the Atlantic by a proposed railway. Its arrangement is to link the globe to Latin America via Callao, in Peru (Grech, Horberry and Koester, 2008).

Given the size of the industry, this would have devastating effects not only upon lives, but also upon the economy of the country. Because of its size, it would be very easy to hold a nuclear bomb in a container. Terrorists have several plausible avenues of obtaining bombs; they could approach Russia or Pakistan, or build their own. 1. Airport operators have a responsibility to maximize the security at their facilities.
Thirdly, it will be a challenge in ensuring that there is coordination and cooperation from all the stakeholders. Hecter explains that achieving the much-needed cooperation is not easy as anticipated by many. There are many conflicts of interests deterring from working towards a common objective. There is no port in the United States that is similar to another in all regards. However, most of them have similarities that make them
Airport Security Design and Implementation The objective of this work in writing is to devise a plan for setting up a state-of-the-art airport security system. This work will discuss: (1) The security force: selection, organization and training; (2) Airport lay-out: suggest a design which maximizes security management efficiency and passenger flow while minimizing discomfort and delay to air travelers; (3) the screening system step-by-step detailing the process, the equipment used and
Transportation Security and Intrusiveness of Security Screenings America's land, seaways, and air transportation systems are structured in such a manner that enhances efficiency and enables easy access, the two features that also at the same time make these transportation systems susceptible to attacks. The expenses and difficulty of protecting the entire transportation systems from attacks raises a critical issue for legislators and other policymakers in the government: in that how much
To an extent, the idea of Cold War nation building has been in evidence in attempts to instill democracy in fronts such as Afghanistan and Iraq. But as a new president seeks to undo the damage of previous security policy conditions, it is apparent that this is an archaic approach to understanding the way individuals tend to behave under foreign occupation. The resistance that has made Iraq one of
Despite its clear benefits and advantages in terms of ease of use and cost effectiveness, there are certain risks associated with wireless networking. These risks are discussed further below.

The applications for wireless communication technology continue to develop and expand; today, at least, the 802.11b is the standard of choice for wireless router communication used with network installation (Gonazles & Higby
