Increasingly, organized crime syndicates have been turning to the "rip-on/rip-off" concealment method which involves the exploitation of shipping containers to traffic illicit drugs around the world. As cargo moves from the country of origin to the country of destination, insiders at each port(such as corrupt port workers) tamper with legal shipments. The key to their success depends on access to the location of a specific container, insider knowledge of the port environment and the ability to coordinate insider threats at both ends of the transport supply chain. 1, record 1, English, - rip%2Don%2Frip%2Doff%20concealment%20method

Consideration must be given to, first of all, the rights and interests involved, i. e., chain of ownership, when real property is affected by a body of water; and, secondly, the physical location on the ground of the extent of such rights and interests, i. e., extent of ownership.

Under the "Land Titles Act" the chain of ownership is guaranteed by the Assurance Fund to be correct and under the mirror principle, is deemed to reflect the true existing state of the ownership. The extent of ownership, however, is not guaranteed under the "Land Titles Act," and in final analysis the extent of lands guaranteed is controlled by the field monuments themselves.
