Security and Accountability for Every Port (SAFE)

Security and Accountability for Every Port (SAFE) is a global shipping security program designed to ensure cargo and vessel safety. It establishes consistent standards for inspecting containers, verifying cargo, and maintaining secure shipping procedures to prevent illegal activities like smuggling or terrorism. SAFE promotes cooperation among government agencies and shipping companies, fostering transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain. Its goal is to protect international trade, ports, and communities by reducing security risks while supporting efficient commerce.
