Safety

Safety is fundamental in our operation. Each of the terminals has the most advanced surveillance systems, closed circuit television and security equipment.

The COMPAS Cartagena protection scheme was endorsed by the United States Customs, as the prototype for the development of the BASC security standard worldwide.

COMPAS also belongs to the Port Security Program, made up of the Attorney General’s Office, the Anti-Narcotics Police, the U.S. Embassy, and which has the support of the French Embassy.
COMPAS has been recognized on 4 occasions with the Colombian Safety Council Award for Occupational Health Management (2003, 2006, 2008 and 2010), and with the SURATEP Excellence Award in 2004.

It is the first organization chosen as a security prototype in Latin America by the Business Alliance for Secure Commerce, a program led by U.S. Customs to block the shipment of drugs through commercial shipments.
