Paris, France, 3 March 2004 - Smiths Detection has received an order from the French Port of Marseille (PAM) for an HCV-Mobile X-ray inspection solution from the Heimann Cargo Vision product range. This new HCV-Mobile system will reinforce already established security measures by providing enhanced access control and computerized follow-ups of freight goods, thus completing the port’s CSI-compliance. PAM is the largest port in France, also ranking number one in the Mediterranean, and third largest petroleum port worldwide.
The Port of Marseille purchased the HCV-Mobile along with a review image workstation for X-ray analysis purposes plus one check-in workstation for the registration of container and truck data.
Upon delivery in September of this year, the system will be operated by French Customs at Pam’s Marseille Fos Terminal and primarily be used for the detection of weapons, narcotics and contraband in inbound and outbound freight.
Due to the tragic events of September 11th 2001, US Customs has developed the supply chain program Container Security Initiative (CSI) to insure that container transports are not exploited for terrorist purposes. CSI is based on an agreement between the national Customs administration, the seaport in question and US customs. CSI certification gives facilitated treatment on imports to the United States.
This order follows previous similar international projects related to the application of HCV systems, for instance installed at the Port of Le Havre, in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Senegal, Mexico, Togo and Tanzania.
The Technology

The HCV-Mobile facilitates a thorough inspection of stationary vehicles or loads while moving the mobile system. The HCV-Mobile distinguishes itself by unique flexibility. Being a vehicle-mounted device, it is ready to operate anywhere in less than 30 minutes and can inspect up to 30 trucks per hour. Its image resolution capability indicates smuggled goods, weapons and drugs in detail. It is perfectly suited for easy customs document verification.
The HCV-Mobile is the most efficient high-energy mobile system available (4MeV – up to 270 mm steel penetration) for the inspection of fully loaded trucks, vehicles and containers at ports, customs and border checkpoints. Based on feedback collected from users and operators working with the previous generation of HCV-Mobiles, further improvements have been made in ergonomics^[1], flexibility and ease of use.
Due to its high throughput capability, the HCV-Mobile grants secured shipment without disrupting the flow of goods. It reliably contributes to the ongoing efforts in the global war on terrorism.
