DP World ISO first

The certification was undertaken and awarded by TUV Rheinland Japan.
“We are proud and pleased to be the only operator in Australia to receive this certification,” DP World Australia and New Zealand managing director Jack Williams said.
“We are committed to offering the best possible service to our customers and this international recognition of our security management system underlines to customers that robust systems are in place to provide for the security of their cargo and people using the terminal facilities.
“Ensuring security for customers is of the highest importance to DP World and consequently the international standard is being implemented throughout our global network of container terminals.”
The ISO 28000 standard sets in place mechanisms and processes to address security vulnerabilities at strategic and operational levels, as well as establishing preventive action plans, DP World said.
The certification at each facility was granted after a series of audits of each of the facilities, focused principally on container security, physical access controls, personnel security, procedural security, security training and threat awareness, business partner requirements and IT security.
