cargo scanning to the MFA, Maritime Administration, Nuclear

Regulatory Agency (NRA) -- which stated that due to shortages of
detection and screening equipment and border police personnel, the
GOB will have difficulty meeting the new U.S. requirements of 100
percent cargo screening for U.S. bound maritime cargo by 2012.
