  Should in case you are not up to date with cloud sourcing I am here to tell you that any information sent to the so-called cloud storage system seizes to be owned by its owners. Video information is not an information data-type that can and or should be available and viewed by anyone and their grandma; there are privacy issues with video clips. Ghana Ports and harbor need its own system of card access, CCTV cameras and health and safety systems with multiple database storage sites to combat data falsification and or losses.
  Unless and until we have a continuous and uninterrupted electricity supply, an ideal automated electronic transaction system that will provide accurate account of revenues will not be achieved. All the best transaction systems will fail just like they do now even at our banking and financial institutions where on any given day of the week tellers are forced to go back to manual banking transaction methods.
