Angry lines condemn GE's container security initiative.
(From Lloyds List)
Byline: Move is 'counterproductive' to standardisation, writes Justin Stares in Brussels
THE US-based World Shipping Council has hit out at what it says is an attempt by IT giant General Electric to promote its own container security product via a not-for-profit global standards organisation.
GE and commercial partners want to 'deviate' from container security work, which has taken place over the last two years in the International Standards Organisation, the shipping council claims.
In a stinging statement, the council, which represents liner companies operating to and from the US, says GE deliberately pulled out of an ISO process which could have led to the development of a rival container device.
GE and other IT companies last month launched the International Container Security Organisation in Brussels, a body they said would aim to produce security system standards encompassing modern seals and wireless communications that are 'so intelligent' the industry as a whole will adopt them.
'General Electric and several other companies (including Siemens and Mitsubishi Corp) with a financial interest in the promotion of the GE CommerceGuard container security device recently announced the creation of a new organisation, the International Container Standards Organisation, for the stated purpose of establishing 'global standards' for container security devices,' said the shipping council.
