TAPA starts global campaign to stop cargo theft by doubling membership
THE Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) is starting a campaign to double the amount of TAPA-certified warehouses to 2,000 in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific in the next three years to curb cargo theft, amounting to billions of dollars.
The organisation is also calling on more trucking companies to become compliant with its security standards.
TAPA's facility security requirements and trucking security requirements have been developed by supply chain security professionals and logistics specialists.
Independently audited, they are widely respected as the leading security standards for the movement of high-value, theft-targeted goods.
The certification campaign also aims to build awareness for TAPA's manufacturing members of the freight, logistics and transport companies that provide TAPA-certified facilities and trucking operations.
TAPA is also looking to develop a new online tool that will allow manufacturers to find out if their transport and logistics service providers are TAPA certified.
TAPA EMEA's incident information service records 1,102 cargo crimes in 2014. Only 33 per cent of these thefts from the supply chain reported a loss figure, but the total value of these crimes alone was US$75 million, producing an average loss per incident of $232,000.
Data for the first half of 2015 rose 24 per cent, year on year, with incidents recorded in 19 countries and average losses per crime of $169,000.
