Vallarpadam has been certified under the ISO 28000 Standard for Supply Chain Security Management system

Security doesn’t stop at the terminal gates, and by being certified in ISO 28000, DP World Cochin has also taken the responsibility to building the awareness of security management throughout the supply chain with importers, exporters, warehouses, CFS, shipping lines and road/rail transporters. The ISO 28000 standard sets in place mechanisms and processes to address security vulnerabilities at strategic and operational levels, as well as establish preventive action plans. The certification was granted after a stringent security audit of the facility, 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 security legislative codes DP World already conforms to at its terminals. Certification was undertaken by globally recognised Rotterdam-based Dutch auditing firm and Maritime Classification Society of Excellence DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV).
