Wireless – Paramount in Cargo Security
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cargo crime is steadily on the rise. An industry estimate states that losses from cargo, in storage or in transit surpasses $ 3050 billion per year, globally. Law enforcement officials in the US state that $ 12 million plus worth of goods are stolen from factory floors, warehouse shelves or in transit, each year (1998). With all this and more, is the cargo transportation industry turning a deaf ear to combat cargo crime? Well, it’s not just an initiative to be taken from the cargo industry per se, but it calls for an unified effort involving government agencies, law enforcement, insurance companies, transportation providers, shippers, carriers etc., in maintaining and controlling cargoes and assets.
