Another Port Security Story on AP :
Study Warns of Lapses at U.S. Ports
Saturday March 11, 11:05 pm ET
By Ted Bridis, Associated Press Writer
AP: Lapses by Private Port Operators Could Allow Terrorist to Smuggle WMD Into U.S., Study Finds
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lapses by private port operators, shipping lines or truck drivers could allow terrorists to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the United States, according to a government review of security at American seaports.The $75 million, three-year study by the Homeland Security Department included inspections at a New Jersey cargo terminal involved in the dispute over a Dubai company's now-abandoned bid to take over significant operations at six major U.S. ports.
The previously undisclosed results from the study found that cargo containers can be opened secretly during shipment to add or remove items without alerting U.S. authorities, according to government documents marked "sensitive security information" and obtained by The Associated Press.
The study found serious lapses by private companies at foreign and American ports, aboard ships, and on trucks and trains "that would enable unmanifested materials or weapons of mass destruction to be introduced into the supply chain."
The study, expected to be completed this fall, used satellites and experimental monitors to trace roughly 20,000 cargo containers out of the millions arriving each year from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Most containers are sealed with mechanical bolts that can be cut and replaced or have doors that can be removed by dismantling hinges.
The risks from smuggled weapons are especially worrisome because U.S. authorities largely decide which cargo containers to inspect based on shipping records of what is thought to be inside.
Among the study's findings:
--Safety problems were not limited to overseas ports. A warehouse in Maine was graded less secure than any in Pakistan, Turkey or Brazil. "There is a perception that U.S. facilities benefit from superior security protection measures," the study said. "This mind set may contribute to a misplaced sense of confidence in American business practices."
--No records were kept of "cursory" inspections in Guatemala for containers filled with Starbucks Corp. coffee beans shipped to the West Coast. "Coffee beans were accessible to anyone entering the facility," the study said. It found significant mistakes on manifests and other paperwork. In a statement to the AP, Starbucks said it was reviewing its security procedures.
--Truck drivers in Brazil were permitted to take cargo containers home overnight and park along public streets. Trains in the U.S. stopped in rail yards that did not have fences and were in high-crime areas. A shipping industry adage reflects unease over such practices: "A container at rest is a container at risk."
--Practices at Turkey's Port of Izmir were "totally inadequate by U.S. standards." But, the study noted, "It has been done that way for decades in Turkey."
--Containers could be opened aboard some ships during weekslong voyages to America. "Due to the time involved in transit (and) the fact that most vessel crew members are foreigners with limited credentialing and vetting, the containers are vulnerable to intrusion during the ocean voyage," the study said.
--Some governments will not help tighten security because they view terrorism as an American problem. The U.S. said "certain countries," which were not identified, would not cooperate in its security study -- "a tangible example of the lack of urgency with which these issues are regarded."
--Security was good at two terminals in Seattle and nearby Tacoma, Wash. The operator in Seattle, SSA Marine, uses cameras and software to track visitors and workers. "We consider ourselves playing an important role in security," said the company's vice president, Bob Waters.
In theory, some nuclear materials inside cargo containers can be detected with special monitors. But such devices have frustrated port officials in New Jersey because bananas, kitty litter and fire detectors -- which all emit natural radiation -- set off the same alarms more than 100 times every day.
The study applauded efforts to install radiation monitors overseas. "While there is clearly value in nuclear detection at a U.S. port, that is precisely the concern -- it is already on U.S. soil," it said.
Finding biological and chemical weapons inside cargo containers is less likely. The study said tests were "labor intensive, time-consuming and costly to use" and produced too many false alarms. "No silver bullet has emerged to render terrorists incapable of introducing WMD into containers," it said.
Sen. Patty Murray, who advocated the study, said: "There are huge holes in our security system that need to be filled." The Washington Democrat said the study "shows us there are major vulnerabilities over who handles cargo, where it's been and whether cargo is on a manifest."
Part of the study tested new tamper-evident locks on containers and tracking devices.
"It's important to figure out what works and what doesn't," said Elaine Dezenski, Homeland Security's acting assistant secretary for policy development. She said the study "gave us a much better view of vulnerabilities." The U.S. is looking for weaknesses across the shipping system to learn where terrorists might strike, she said.
The study, called "Operation Safe Commerce," undercuts arguments that port security in America is an exclusive province of the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection and is not managed by companies operating shipping terminals.
The theme was an important element in the Bush administration's forceful defense of the deal it originally approved to allow Dubai-owned DP World to handle significant operations at ports in New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia.
Bush and senior officials sought to assure lawmakers that safety at ports would not decline.
"I can understand people's consternation because the first thing they heard was that a foreign company would be in charge of our port security when in fact, the Coast Guard and Customs are in charge of our port security," Bush said Feb. 28. "Our duty is to protect America, and we will protect America."
DP World promised on Thursday to transfer fully to an American company its U.S. port operations it acquired when it bought London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co.
It was unclear how such a sale might occur, but the divestiture was expected to involve major operations at the six U.S. ports and affect lesser dockside activities at 16 other ports in this country.
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., a leading critic of the Dubai deal, said anyone suggesting that port operators and shipping companies were not involved with security was "living in La-La land."
"You can obviously have stuff in containers that doesn't make it onto manifests, either by design or from the actions of bad actors," Menendez said in an AP interview Friday. "A terminal operator is so involved in the overall security equation of ports."
Parts of the U.S. study examined the safety of containers sent to the same cargo terminal in New Jersey that DP World would have managed jointly and operated with its Denmark-based rival, Maersk Sealand.
Hundreds of pages of study documents obtained by the AP do not list specific security lapses at the New Jersey terminal. The final two cargo containers being tracked under the study were expected to arrive there this week from the Middle East.
But the study broadly described problems in warehouses and other storage areas that raised doubts about the safety of containers brought to New Jersey's port. It cited problems with protective fences and gates, surveillance cameras and emergency plans.
The lengthy study has been beset by problems. Japan refused to allow officials to attach tracking devices to containers destined for the United States. Other tracking devices sometimes failed. Many shipping companies refused to disclose information for competitive reasons.
Some containers in the study were aboard a ship the Coast Guard held 11 miles off New Jersey's coast for security reasons in August 2004. An anonymous e-mail had claimed a container filled with tons of lemons was deliberately contaminated with a biological agent. The lemons were fumigated and burned, but no trace of poison was ever found; the containers also were destroyed.
Parts of the study could not be finished at all. U.S. officials went to Pakistan to inspect how workers in Karachi handle cargo containers. But they canceled plans for a return inspection because of an outbreak of terrorist attacks there.

Great post off the Yahoo board ** SVA Future
by: oldbeanie411
Long-Term Sentiment: Strong Buy 02/21/06 10:36 pm
Msg: 18212 of 18214
In the biotech field,I own NVAX,SVA and AOB.NVAX is jumping upwards;AOB,which isn't technically a bio company,has moved up a lot and is poised to take another step up when it begins acquisitions.And the there is SVA,which has moved up and down during the last year.
But it is SVA that will, over the upcoming years, outperform these and most of the other biotechnology stocks-by a mile.SVA is China's best chance at containing SARS and hepatitis,which affects tens of millions in China,along with developing a vaccine for the possibility of an avian flu pandemic.
If you want a dog and pony show by SVA management to boost the stock price,it's not going to happen.Their mission,which had them working round the clock during their recent Lantern holiday,is to develop and refine the various vaccines in their pipeline and save countless of their countrymens lives.That is why the Chinese government backs SVA completely.What an edge for SVA!
What will raise the value of the stock,short term and long term, is good old American profit.Sva will be producing hundreds of millions of vaccines,year after year.This,of course,will increase their bottom line enormously.At some point,the pps will catch up with the stock,and SVA will no longer be a manipulated,inexpensive stock.
The Street makes mistakes regarding a stock's value,but it doesn't make that mistake forever.And what is said by the pumpers and bashers on this Yahoo board will have no impact on SVA's future.Ultimately,money talks and that will be the byproduct of SVA's success in sales.I don't know what will happen tomorrow,next week or next month with SVA's stock price.But I know there is a lot more room to go up than there is to go down.
Things are moving quietly and we should see a run back to 5 soon enough
From PRnewswire 12/21
Sinovac CEO and Director, Mr. Weidong Yin commented, "This is a great day
for us as we simultaneously advance China's National Pandemic Preparedness
Plan and our corporate growth strategy. In addition to our successful R&D
program, Sinovac has introduced two new vaccines into the market this year.
Our national and international name recognition is expanding, and I expect
tremendous revenue growth in 2006."
Sinovac partnered with Beijing Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital for the
successful Phase I SARS clinical trials in 2004. Protocols for clinical trials
are strictly regulated and include compliance with SFDA's National Institute
for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products (NICPBP), World
Health Organization (WHO) "Guidelines on Clinical Evaluation of Vaccines," and
other relevant regulations. The trials will be compliant with Good Clinical
Practices (GCP) procedures, including ethical guidelines.
Sinovac's Deputy General Manager, Mr. Zhang Jiansan stated, "we have
established an excellent reputation at Sinovac and maintain disciplined, safe
procedures during all of our R&D and production functions." These trials will
use Sinovac's proprietary pandemic vaccine, Panflu(TM), which is an al
adjuvant, whole virion type. Sinovac has produced sufficient vaccines to
complete human clinical trials. If clinical trials are successful, the
Company estimates production capacity may be as high as 20 million doses per
year using its current manufacturing facilities.
Study on Human Bird Flu Vaccine Goes Well /1-21-006
2006-1-21 19:22:46 CRIENGLISH.com
China says its clinical study on a bird flu vaccine for humans is going well.
According to the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing on Saturday, 66 volunteers have been vaccinated for experimental purposes with no obvious side effects turning up.
The study of the vaccine, which holds an Intellectual Property Right, kicked off in 2004.
Currently, China has established a product line for the manufacturing of a vaccine, which can start production as soon as the completion of clinical experiments or after permitted by the authorities in event of emergency.
The line is also capable of producing new vaccines within four months to meet the possible variances of the bird flu virus.
China's Vice Minister of Science and Technology, Liu Yanhua expressed that the Chinese government is able to deal with a possible bird flu outbreak by relying on its self-studied achievement, ensuring people's health and the stable development of society.
BB you have a quote on LFWK,,thanks
Great post on CHID from RB
Btw, just looked up the trailing P/E ratio of FORD (a profitable enterprise that like CHID makes accessories for cell phones), and it is 26. If you apply that P/E to CHID's $3MM in 2005 net income, you'll arrive at a market cap of $78MM (to translate into a price per share, divide by our 54MM in outstanding shares, and you'll note that equals $1.44/share).
So obviously CHID is severely undervalued, but FORD also went through a stage in it's life, it took a lil' while for the market to fully embrace that company as well, but FORD continued to churn out great earnings quarter after quarter (just as CHID has been doing of late) and eventually, BOOM, the market fell in love, and like a rocket, it ran from $2 to it's current level of $25 in less than a year.
In any event, long story short, I expect CHID could realistically make between $4 and $6 million next year in net income, and I think that a P/E of 25 is a fair multiple to use in extrapolating a value for the company, and it's stock.
