Cargo inspection system implemented at Itapoá Port

Smiths Detection, a UK company in threat detection and security screening technologies, has delivered an HCVM XT cargo inspection system to Itapoá Port in Brazil.

The new system, which meets the latest Brazilian image quality requirements set out by the COANA regulations, will be used to screen export cargo for threats and undeclared goods, while helping to maintain the constant flow of trade.

In fact, the HCVM XT is the first of its kind to be deployed in Latin America and it is planned for deployment by April 2023.

According to the statement, the HCVM XT system is equipped with Smiths Detection cargo screening technology and cutting-edge software, discriminates between materials and reduces the movement of illegal substances and goods contained in trucks or cargo containers.

The system is capable of screening through 320mm of steel.

Danyel DeVoe, vice president of Sales & Marketing at Smiths Detection commented, “Capable of meeting Brazil’s COANA regulations, and able to be integrated with automatic threat recognition software to further improve performance and extend equipment life, we are confident that this system will be used by the Port for many years to come.”
