DP World Callao achieves ISO 28000 certification

The first terminal operator on the South American west coast and only the second company in Peru to earn the ISO 28000 security standard, DP World Callao’s certification has been achieved less than a year after its inauguration. The certification audit was conducted by RINA, the operative organisation of Registro Italiano Navale in the sector of ship classification, certification and control and services for industry, training, assistance and research.

DP World is implementing the international standard across its entire portfolio of 49 terminals with DP World Callao the 36th facility to achieve ISO 28000 security certification.

The ISO 28000 standard sets in place mechanisms and processes to address security vulnerabilities at strategic and operational levels, as well as establishing preventive action plans. The certification was granted after a stringent series of audits focused principally on container security, physical access controls, personnel security, procedural security, security training and threat awareness, business partner requirements and IT security. The standard complements all international and national security legislative codes to which DP World already conforms at its terminals.
