Resultados de la implementación del Sistema de Inspección No Intrusiva en la Sociedad Portuaria de Santa Marta

Abstract

This monograph highlights the use of x-ray scanner technology for non-intrusive inspection used specifically in Puerto de Santa Marta SA, and how its implementation from 2016 has impacted logistics, documentation, financial operations and in general handling of containerized cargo inside port facilities. This technology is a fundamental tool for the company SMITCO (Santa Marta International Terminal Company), which is responsible for managing, storing and ensuring that international protocols on containerized cargo security are met. In addition, a financial analysis will be carried out prior to the implementation of the nonintrusive inspection technology and after its implementation to expose the economic impact caused by the use of this very important technology for the environment and safety of operations. port facilities in Puerto de Santa Marta since most of its financial movements come precisely from containerized cargo. Subsequently, the improvements in the documentary and logistical processes will be taken into consideration due to the implementation of the non-intrusive inspection system for the DIAN entities (Directorate of Customs and National Taxes) and the Anti-Narcotics Police, which in collaboration with Puerto de Santa Marta SA and SMITCO, they guarantee the security and billing of the cargo of all containers entering and leaving the port facility. It ends with the proposal of a performance indicator for the operation of the machine with the purpose of monitoring, controlling and managing its use. This indicator has the facility that it can be used under any timeline that the SMITCO company determines to be important, thus guaranteeing a more robust control for the operation of the entire system.
