container examination facility

Lae needs container examination facility

A CEF is equipped with technologies such as x-ray scanners and radiation detectors to inspect containers for the purposes of security or customs, or to ensure compliance.

This was one of the points raised by stakeholders at the recent 2024 Customs-To-Business Consultative Forum in Lae.

Container Examination Facility For Lae

Chief Commissioner of PNG Customs, David Towe, made this known at the Lae Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s business breakfast this morning at the Lae International Hotel.

On January 2017, PNG became the first Pacific country – outside of New Zealand and Australia – to install a K60 million container examination facility at Motukea, in the nation’s capital.

Speaking to Lae business houses, Towe said the return from this investment has been outstanding, with the detection of non-compliant cargoes and generally, a faster and accurate clearance of cargo.
