You are most welcome.

For what it is worth, I thought this was a particularly interesting section from the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Inspector General Review of the Port Security Grant Program:

DHS is learning that many private companies are unwilling to share security information and collaborate on security projects with port authorities. Port officials discussed the reluctance of private sector entities to share information about their vulnerabilities for fear of reducing their competitive advantage. Port authorities, while cognizant of this concern, want to establish integrated and port-wide security plans and security systems. This requires greater cooperation and increased information sharing on the part of private entities. While there were occasional references to the program’s goal of giving preference to port-wide projects, neither guidance nor reviewer comments indicated this was occurring. The program does not adequately reinforce the cooperative efforts between public and private entities that are required to develop an integrated approach to security.
