Cargo Tracking Note or the Advanced Cargo System (CTN/ACS) might be new to Liberia, but certainly not new to the rest of the region, the African continent and the rest of the world. Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) or Advance Cargo System was introduced by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) call ISPs Code after the 9/11 attack in the USA as a means of improving the security around marine shipment. The GTMS Cargo Tracking Note system collects information from the vendor’s store to the store in the destination country. The Cargo Tracking Note scheme is considered as an obstacle to liberalism by some operators. The judicious exploitation of Cargo Tracking Note makes it possible to evaluate the overall cost of the maritime component of transport, to monitor it and to provide this indicator regularly on a macro-economic level and in an analytical way.
