Smiths Detection announced contracts for 13 advanced X-ray cargo screening systems to be deployed across Saudi Arabia to inspect inbound and outbound containers and trucks.
The contracts comprise seven stationary Heimann Cargo Vision Gantry (HCVM) scanners and six mobile HCVM systems. They use high-energy X-ray scanning at ports, airports and border crossings to inspect trucks, containers and other vehicles for contraband, weapons, explosives and narcotics. Stephen Phipson, President of Smiths Detection, said: "These contracts underline the superiority of our high-energy X-ray solutions. These advanced, highly reliable detection systems produce best-in-class imaging resolution, critical in the rapid identification of potentially life threatening or illegal shipments." Smiths Detection won these contracts in close cooperation with Saudi Bell Group.
