Hutchison Ports (UK) Limited is introducing mandatory
RHIDES biometric identity cards for hauliers using its terminals, with effect from 1st March 2007.
If you own or run trucks, you will need to ‘Register’ via
the RHIDES website.
This is different from subscribing for alerts. Before you can apply for cards
for your drivers, you will need to become a recognised company within the
RHIDES system.
Once RHIDES
has been introduced, it will have the following benefits:
-
it will enhance security and tighten access controls at the Port, particularly
to the terminals
-
ID checks at the gates will be very quick - no more than 5 seconds
-
it will allow automated checks at Self Service
-
it will provide a significant deterrent to container theft - cards will be
unique to the individual, making each driver directly accountable for his/her
container/s
