Our modus operandi is to perform a thorough search of a vessel immediately before it departs from port.  This is done in conjunction with delegated personnel from the vessel and all areas are physically sealed with cable ties after searching. 

Our dogs prove invaluable in searching the cargo holds, especially where break bulk or project cargo renders visual searches virtually impossible.  After having completed the search, a team will be left to secure the berth adjacent to the vessel until it departs.
