La desserte des ports US soumise à davantage de contraintes de sécurité? Après l’attaque terroriste qui a frappé New York et Washington les autorités américaines ont pris conscience du fait que leur territoire national est désormais visé directement. Elles vont dès lors prendre des mesures drastiques en matière de sécurité, qui perdureront.

De même, ils peuvent servir à transporter des cargaisons susceptibles d’être utilisées pour perpétrer des attentats.
