OSI Geospatial Signs Contract with the Port of Miami to Provide Risk Assessment Services
Ottawa, Canada-OSI Geospatial Inc. (TSX: OSI) announced today that its U.S. Systems Operations has signed a contract valued at approximately US$400,000 to provide an integrated vulnerability assessment (IVA) to the Port of Miami. Under the terms of the contract, the company will complete an IVA for the port system and identify actions to effectively mitigate threats to the region’s maritime critical infrastructure. The work is estimated to be completed over a three to four month period.
“We are pleased that we continue to win contracts under the Port Security Grant program,” said Ken Kirkpatrick president and CEO of OSI Geospatial. “The Port of Miami is a critical port and we are confident that we can build on this success as we establish ourselves as market leaders in this space and leverage this success to deliver technology solutions to this market.”
About the Port of Miami
The Port of Miami is among America’s busiest ports and recognized throughout the world with the dual distinction of being the Cruise Capital of the World and the Cargo Gateway of the Americas. The Port contributes over $17 billion annually to the South Florida economy and helps provide direct and indirect employment for over 176,000 jobs. The world's leading cargo lines call at the Port of Miami. Cargo destined for more than 100 countries and 250 ports around the world flow through our seaport. In 2007, imports totaled some 4.37 million tons and exports were 3.46 million tons, totaling 7.84 million annual tons. Due to its strategic location, last year the port included among its top ten trading partners countries from the Far East, South and Central America, Europe and the Caribbean. Furthermore, as part of its strategic business plan the Port is seeking to further diversify this list. By 2020, it is expected that most U.S. container port gateways will double or triple in volume. Meeting the challenge, the Port continues to work on major capital development improvements.
