CONTROLS * Canada - Ports to twin TWIC
Halifax,NS,CAN -Today's Trucking -1 June 2009: -- Truckers working two of Canada’s three major container ports will soon be faced with tighter security and will require special credentialing to get on the docks... The ports of Halifax and Montreal are in the process of developing an identification card for truckers which mirrors the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) required at U.S. ports... American ports made the cards mandatory April 15 but some ports had a "soft" implementation. However, as of today, June 1, there will be strict enforcement at all ports... The Canadian ports, meanwhile, have decided to launch their own card systems as Transport Canada does not yet have a specific security program for truck drivers... (Picture from portofhalifax)
