Our Vision:
“Secure the global supply chain; expedite the flow of commerce”
Our Mission statement:
The Cargo Security Alliance provides tools, techniques, technologies and thought leadership in logistics security to mitigate risk and optimize cargo flow across the global air, sea and land supply chains
Our focus:
The initial focus of the Cargo Security Alliance is to help the shippers and the air cargo industry meet the U.S. Congressional mandate for 100% screening of cargo carried on passenger aircraft by August, 2010.
Our Value Proposition:
- To provide our clients best practices solutions that meet or exceed TSA and international standards
- To offer “One stop shopping” for the services and products needed to quickly plan, set up and operate a Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF) at the lowest possible cost
- To deliver operational efficiencies, increased customer service levels and other benefits that more than offset the costs of added security measures
