DAMMAM - Saudi Arabia Customs has debuted AS&E's OmniView Gantry cargo and vehicle X-ray inspection system at King Abdul Aziz Seaport in Dammam, American Science and Engineering, Inc., a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, in partnership with Al Zamil Group, announced Wednesday.
The high-energy transmission X-ray system will inspect cargo entering the port for security threats and contraband. This is the first of several systems to be installed at port and land borders in Saudi Arabia.
The system provides high penetration into inspected objects as it moves along rails over stationary vehicles and cargo.
"These installations will lead to faster, safer, and more effective control of the thousands of containers in transit every year through the land and sea borders in Saudi Arabia," Dr. Hamad Al Qasoumi, Deputy Director General of Saudi Customs added.
