Field Inspection of Customs X-ray Facilities

         To ensure that X-ray scanning inspection of containerized cargoes are carried out in accordance with the Customs rules and regulations and in compliance with the Customs Radiation Safety Manual as well as to ensure that the directives of the XIP Head are fully implemented, MICP Field Officer and concurrent Luzon Area Supervisor Renato D. Palgan has conducted an ocular inspection last week on the container X-ray facilities at the Port of Subic in Zambales and the Port of Clark in Pampanga.

            The inspection was also made to check the on-going construction of X-ray facility at the said ports to ensure that radiation safety requirements and specifications are met.

            “ Considering that more than half of the total 30 container X-ray scanning machines of the Bureau of Customs are deployed at the major ports of entry in Luzon Area it is an imperative that these state-of-the-art equipment are fully utilized by our operatives with utmost efficiency and effectiveness in our anti-smuggling campaign”, Palgan said.

            The Port of Manila and the Manila International Container Port (MICP) have a combined 13 container X-ray machines while the Port of Subic and Port of Clark have 2 machines each respectively.
