Cubic Applications, Inc., a mission support services subsidiary of
Cubic Corporation (NYSE: CUB), has received its fourth contract to
provide seaport assessments and security training from the
Secretariat of the Inter-American Committee Against Terrorism of
the Organization of American States (OAS).
Cubic's new contract covers security services for the Mexican
ports of Ensenada, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Salina Cruz, and
the Colombian port of Turbo and is a follow-on to an award received
last year for assessments and training in the Mexican ports of
Cozumel, Cabo San Lucas, Coatzacoalcos and Manzanillo as well as
the Colombian port of Buenaventura.
Cubic will initiate the new work in Mexico and Colombia as it
completes an OAS port security training contract in Panama.
"In early 2012, Cubic will be conducting simultaneous OAS
maritime security contracts in three different countries," said
Peter Miller, Director of Maritime Security Programs for Cubic
Applications, Inc. "We are pleased to assist the OAS in helping
security teams in these OAS Member States to develop the specific
infrastructure, procedures and skills they need for effective port
security and customs operations."
During the first phase of its new contract, Cubic will examine
physical security, cargo and access controls, customs procedures,
critical infrastructure, screening techniques for passengers and
crews, passenger and cargo security, and emergency consequence
management capabilities at each of the five ports in Mexico and
Colombia. Cubic will then work with OAS to provide mitigation
strategies and a training need analyses.
In 2009, Cubic received an OAS award to supply assessment and
training services to Trinidad and Tobago along with Saint Vincent
and the Grenadines. The company has also conducted consequence
management exercises in Trinidad and Mexico.
