TRUCKING New trucking security requirements in 2017 EMEA toughens stance vs cargo theft “ Of all the cargo thefts reported to our intelligence database, only around 5% are from TAPA members because generally their supply chains are far more resilient because of the steps they take to protect their products during the transportation process. The growth in the number of recorded cargo crimes is an industrywide problem and using intelligence is the best possible way to avoid becoming a victim.” Thorsten Neumann Thorsten Neumann, Chairman TAPA-EMEA
TRUCKING Trucks that will travel the road across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in 2017 will have tougher technology and other security features as the trucking industry fights back against the rising incidents of cargo theft in the region. The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) says the industry has accumulated losses of at least €19,883,639 as of end-September due to cargo theft. This included 28 incidents involving a loss of more than €100,000 and a biggest single loss of €4 million of Jewellery/Precious Metals from a vehicle while en route in Arezzo, Italy, on July 11. The average loss for crimes with a value in the quarter was €86,828 as TAPA recorded incidents in 25 countries in EMEA. Thorsten Neumann, Chairman of TAPA EMEA, said the situation now calls for a tougher stance and one of the measures the group wants to adopt in 2017 is by issuing the latest revision of its Facility Security Requirements (FSR) and Trucking Security Requirements (TSR), recognised as the leading security standards for supply chain security. It is also launching a new secure parking program for all parking owners to help identify and increase the number of secure parking places in the region through certification, partnership and mutual recognition. It will recognize existing secure parking locations and encourage other parking site operators to update the security of their locations to attract new business. “Of all the cargo thefts reported to our intelligence database, only around 5% are from TAPA members because generally their supply chains are far more resilient because of the steps they take to protect their products during the transportation process. The growth in the number of recorded cargo crimes is an industry-wide problem and using intelligence is the best possible way to avoid becoming a victim,” said Neumann. “However, there are still many countries, such as France, Germany, Italy and South Africa, where we believe the majority of thefts from warehouse facilities and trucks are not r e p o r t e d t o o u r I I S ( I n c i d e n t Information Service),” he added. The TAPA official said their members will also have access to a new online tool that will incorporate a route planner, a secure parking locator, site information and contact details, as Products moving in supply chains in EMEA remained most at risk during the quarter. Five incident categories involving trucks accounted for 437 or 89.5% of the Q3 2016 incidents: THEFT FROM VEHICLE THEFT FROM TRAILER THEFT OF VEHICLE TRUCK THEFT THEFT OF TRAILER - 269 Or 55.1% - 88 Or 18% - 46 Or 9.4% - 22 Or 4.5% - 12 Or 2.5% TAPA's IIS also recorded 24 cases of Theft from Facility – 4.9% of all Q3 incidents as well as 10 Hijackings, seven of which took place in South Africa. well as an incident history overlay showing the locations of previous cargo crimes reported to TAPA on the routes companies are planning to use. TAPA's call for action comes as its latest data for thefts from supply chains in the region in Q3 2016 shows a total of 489 newly-recorded losses, more than five a day and up 105.4% year-on-year. Neumann said the cooperation of the entire trucking industry in providing information on the type of incident, the modus operandi used by thieves and the products targeted in the attack, will tremendously help their members. Authorities believe the level of risk in the UK and the Netherlands may be no greater than in a host of other countries w h e r e a r e l u c t a n c e t o s h a r e intelligence results in a lower, but often misleading, level of recorded crimes. In Q3 2016, 204 incidents of cargo crime were reported in the UK to TAPA's IIS, the Netherlands recorded 104 thefts, and Sweden 53. Over the three months, 49 further losses were reported in Germany, while Italy and South Africa both featured in 10 new incidents added to the IIS database.
