Project YALI
In conjunction with Projects Kraken and Pegasus, Humberside Police Ports Unit are committed to protecting the borders in partnership with other law enforcement agencies and transport community partners. This resulted in Project YALI being launched during late September 2012.
What is Project YALI?
Project Yali is a joint agency initiative that delivers an enhanced ‘vigilance’ capability and reporting mechanism for the haulage community that use the Humber Region Ports.
How Does Project YALI work?
Project Yali provides haulage companies with a localised number, provides a structure for the reporting of unusual activity or behaviour within the transport community believed or suspected to be linked to acts of terrorism or organised crime.
What are the signs of Criminal or Terrorist Activity?
1. Tests of Security Attempts to test security at restricted areas.
2. Security of Load Individuals attempting to breach the security of a trailer/container or drivers cab whilst it is parked.
3. Request to carry packages/human cargo. Individuals approaching drivers requesting they carry a package for payment. This could also include allowing individuals to hide within the load they are carrying.
4. Suspicious Characters People who are clearly not local and whose actions do not fit into the daily routine of the area.
What to look for:
• Are your fellow drivers licences and identification correct and genuine?
• Are drivers being regularly approached to carry items for payment ?
• Are there regular breaches of security within the port complex you visit ?
• Are there unusual methods of payment or transactions by or between drivers and their customers ?
• Is the wagon and/or trailer safe and being used legally ?
• Is there suspicious or unusual activity by people or vehicles around the wagon/trailer ?
• Is there incorrect or unusual operation or appearance of the wagon (i.e. use of red diesel/overweight)?
• Is there a deviation from the normal use of the wagon by the owner or operator ?
• Has the wagon/trailer they are using been modified in any way ?
• Are there regular unexpected or last minute diversions to the route used by a driver or company ?
• Are there suspicions surrounding a specific company or driver regarding suspicious or illegal activity ?

What is Project Kraken
Project Kraken delivers an enhanced crime and counter terrorist ‘vigilance’ capability within the maritime environment. It engages key stakeholders together with local communities to provide a hostile environment to terrorists and criminals looking to disrupt the everyday lives and safety of those who live, work, or travel through our waters.
How does Project Kraken work?
The project provides a way in which people can report unusual activity or behaviour within the marine community – simply by calling on one of the specific contact numbers detailed below.
Whilst it is almost impossible to say with any certainty what a terrorist might look like, an individual’s activity or behaviour can become suspicious in the context of the location they are in. Likewise, the unexpected or unusual presence of a vessel or a particular cargo within a small port or marina might just cause reason for concern by those who live, work and relax in that particular environment on a regular basis.
