在2001年9月11日纽约市发生恐怖袭击后,情况变得很明显,美国港口和在外国港口运往美国港口的货物面临很高的恐怖袭击风险。为了应对这一风险,美国国会通过了一系列法案,并启动了一系列计划,以保护美国港口和运往美国港口的货物免受恐怖袭击--2001年的《航空和运输安全法案》、2002年的《海上运输安全法案》、海岸警卫队的S海上安全计划、海关和边境保护局的S(CBP的S)海上安全计划和2006年的《每个(安全)港口的安全和责任法案》。由于美国港口没有发生严重的恐怖事件,可以得出结论,这些行为和计划在保护美国港口免受恐怖袭击方面是有效的。然而,美国港口安全法案和计划对美国港口和美国外贸港口提供的港口互通服务质量的影响尚不清楚。港口保安服务质量的提高能否提高港口互通服务的质量?本章讨论了这个问题。虽然人们普遍认为,改善港口安全服务的质量,例如100%扫描集装箱(Tley,2011),可能会导致集装箱港口拥堵,从而对集装箱港口联运服务的质量产生负面影响,但(据作者所知)文献中没有对积极影响的问题进行调查。下一节讨论美国港口安全立法和计划,因为世界各地的许多港口安全计划都是基于这些立法和计划。第34.3节和第34.4节分别讨论了港口互通和港口安全服务,以及这些服务的质量衡量标准。港口换乘服务质量与港口安全的关系模型港口安全与换乘服务质量
It became clear following the terrorist attacks in New York City on September 11, 2001 that US ports and cargo at foreign ports bound for US ports were at high risk of terrorist attacks. In response to this risk, the US Congress passed a number of acts and initiated a number of programs to secure US ports and cargo bound for US ports from terrorist attacks – the 2001 Aviation and Transportation Security Act, the 2002 Maritime Transportation Security Act, the Coast Guard ’ s maritime security program, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection ’ s (CBP ’ s) maritime security program, and the Security and Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006. Since no serious terrorist incident has occurred at US ports, one may conclude that these acts and programs have been effective in securing US ports from terrorist attacks. However, the effects of US port security acts and programs on the quality of port interchange services provided by US ports and US foreign trading ports are unclear. Can improvements in the quality of port security service increase the quality of port interchange services? This chapter addresses this question. Although it is generally agreed that improvements in the quality of port security service, such as one hundred percent scanning of containers (Talley 2011 ), can lead to container port congestion and thus have a negative effect on the quality of container port interchange services, the question of a positive effect has not been investigated in the literature (to the knowledge of the authors). The next section discusses US port security legislations and programs, since many port security programs around the world are based upon these legislations and programs. Sections 34.3 and 34.4 discuss port interchange and port security services, respectively, as well as measures of the quality of these services. Then, a model of the relationship between the quality of port interchange services and port security Port Security and the Quality of Port Interchange Service
