Algeciras Port Lacks Scanner for 6 Months
The Spanish organization "Alternativas," which specializes in drug prevention, reports that the Algeciras port has been operating for six months without a container scanning device using radiation technology. This creates a security gap that allows drugs and weapons to be smuggled into Europe. The halt in the device's operation resulted from damage it sustained during a storm in February, and the replacement deal has stalled due to American objections to a Chinese company's proposal, citing security concerns related to the technology. The scanning device could quickly identify suspicious shipments without opening the containers. Its absence increases the risk of illegal substances passing through, reduces the efficiency of inspection processes, and threatens the security of Europe and the United States, given that some of the shipments are destined for these regions. There is an urgent need to resume the system to bolster anti-smuggling efforts and enhance security at this strategic port.
