The Port Authority of Kenya has awarded Israel’s Magal Security Systems [MAGS] a $21.4 million contract to secure the Port of Mombasa. Magal says that it was one of 19 international companies bid for the work. The World Bank, which directed the bid process, will partially finance the project. Magal says it will supply 10 kilometers of smart fence using its locating sensor Barricade II, access control gates, a CCTV solution with long-range day/night surveillance cameras, and static and pan-tilt- zoom cameras support by the company’s intelligent video analytics product, Maestro DB. The solution will also feature intercom and radio communication. Magal will network and integrate its solution with its Fortis security management system. “Mombasa is a major strategic seaport for East Africa, handling thousands of vessels every year,” says Eitan Livneh, president and CEO of Magal S3. “We bring a wealth of experience to the seaport security market, an important and growing market, which we have identified as a growth market over the past few years.”
