Indonesia to improve port security

Indonesia has announced it will improve security at seven of the country's major port terminals after a U-S Coast Guard warning.

The Transport Ministry says the Coast Guard found seven terminals that did not fully comply with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code.

It says Indonesia has 90 days from the notification to fix the problems and the department is already working on the problem.

If the the improvements aren't made, then goods and ships from the ports will require tight escort when arriving in the United States, which would create higher costs.
