Container Safety Initiative

The Container Safety Initiative (CSI) is a program designed to improve the security of shipping containers entering ports. It involves screening and inspecting containers to prevent the entry of dangerous items, such as weapons, drugs, or hazardous materials, before they reach their destination. By focusing on high-risk containers through risk assessments and targeted inspections, CSI helps protect public safety, safeguard trade, and ensure national security without delaying legitimate cargo. It’s a proactive approach to managing the risks associated with international shipping in a secure and efficient manner.
