The system installed by SICE for the SAT (Guatemalan Tax Authority) consists of 50 video cameras, a digital information-storage system and control software.
The equipment will monitor all cargo entering and leaving the port, streamlining goods in
transit, and its high definition means that the bar codes, brands and types of goods being
transported can be read from the control cabin.
This system will also save time, as there is no longer any need for form-filling by hand: by
holding them up to the camera they can be copied and filed.
The aim of Secure Customs is to improve all levels of customs-services management,
facilitating customs-exit processes and improving the port’s productivity to make it more
competitive.
The opening ceremony was attended by the chairman of the Management Board, project
coordinator Roberto Diaz Duran, customs officer Raul Diaz, the managing director of SAT resources
management, Juan Francisco de León, the Institutional Security Manager, Juan Jose Marín, and
Armando Besh, representing the Guatemalan business community
