New milestone for DP World as Spanish Terminal wins ISO 28000 Certification
Tarragona is 40th DP World facility to be recognised for security strengthThe ISO 28000 standard sets out mechanisms and process to address security vulnerabilities at strategic and operational levels, as well as establishing preventive action plans.
DP World Tarragona, located in the Catalan region of northeastern Spain, earned the security certification after a long process of stringent audits of container security, physical access controls, procedural security, personnel security, threat awareness and training in security issues, business partner requirements and IT integrity.
Flemming Dalgaard, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Europe & Russia, DP World, said:
Oscar Rodriguez, General Manager, DP World Tarragona, said:
"Securing the ISO 28000 certification is the latest of our initiatives to consistently deliver superior services to our customers. DP World Tarragona serves a significant industrial hinterland and provides a crucial gateway and supply chain hub for customers wanting to access the surrounding Catalan region and on to Madrid. In turn, DP World Tarragona connects Spain's vast market to the Mediterranean region and beyond."
DP World 's investment in the ISO security management system has been recognised by the US Customs Border Protection agency under their Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) programme. DP World is the only global marine terminal operator to be a member of C-TPAT. DP World also has the largest number of terminals participating in the US Customs' Container Security Initiative with 15 terminals in the programme, is Principle Partner in the US-led Secure Freight Initiative, and is a partner in the US Megaports initiative with six terminals involved in the container scanning programme.
