What is being done to counter threats of maritime terrorism and how
effective are the safeguards? The author presents evidence that
Al-Qaeda aims to disrupt the seaborne trading system, the backbone
of the model global economy, and would use a crude nuclear
explosive device or radiological bomb to do so if it could obtain
one and position it to go off in a port-city, shipping strait or
waterway that plays a key role in international trade. Improving
maritime trade is especially important for the US and Canada,
member states of the EU, Australia and New Zealand and for China,
Japan and South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and other East Asian
economies that have extensive direct seaborne trade. It is doubly
vital for places like Singapore, Hong Kong and Rotterdam that are
not only very large global seaports but also giant giant container
transshipment hubs. This book discusses some major threats to
seaborne trade and its land links in the global supply chain, their
potential impact and the new security measures in place or pending
for ships, ports and cargo containers, and recommendations for
preventing or handling a catastrophic terrorist attack designed to
disrupt world trade.
