The Ministry of Finance has introduced the swift non-intrusive screening of containers that would greatly alleviate inspection chores, in the shortest time possible.
The new container Xray screening services will undoubtedly hasten the time of general inspection just as it would increase the security and efficiency of cargo by fast scanning the containers at the port.
It would thus completely do away with the irksome traditional manual inspection that has been the norm that hitherto delayed the transportation, clearing and forwarding services altogether.
Customs operators at Berbera Port who use this device have the opportunity to easily know the types and quantity of all the goods inside the containers.
Businessmen who use the Port of Berbera have thanked the Ministry of Finance for introducing the new service that gives them the opportunity to have services rendered to them fast-tracked as far as inspection and taxation are concerned.
This new facility is expected to improve operations and improve the flow of goods and services at the port since it would swiftly aid in ascertaining the verification of the manifest for tariffs and security purposes without the traditional time-consuming manual means.
