According to Long, from May 2019, the Branch and SaiGon New Port Corporation will deploy the operation of the Megaport system. All goods containers exported to the US at Cat Lai Port must be scannedvia this system to detect radiation.

The Megaport system is a scan system to detect illegal transport of nuclear materials and radioactive materials for imported and exported goods transported by container through the port.
