Internet logistics network beefing up cargo security

Carriersnet Group, a Dearborn, MI-based Internet logistics network, said it has increased cargo security for shipments coming from Europe into the United States.

Carriersnet said its representatives met with European Union (E.U.) officials last week in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss the company's commercially patented system that safeguards U.S.- bound cargo against terrorist tampering.

"Now that the threat of war has become the reality of war, the possibility of terrorist tampering with commercial cargo has increased. It is more important than ever that the E.U. and the U.S. resolve their disagreements over international cargo security measures," said Carriersnet chairman Capt. H. Salloum.
