Transported assets related crime is top of the agenda today and receives more attention than ever whilst the threat of international terrorism is still hovering over the supply chain community world wide. Whether it is in Europe, the Americas, Russia, China or any other part of the world, we can not shelter from or ignore the facts that cargo and transported assets crime and theft is hurting manufacturers, logistic service providers and consumers alike. Billions worth of valuable products are lost each year and this figure is ever increasing, showing the need for proper protection and working solutions support by adequate services.Governments, authorities and law enforcement have developed and implement many initiatives to counter and combat cargo crime and terrorism by programmes such asC-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership against Terrorism) from the USA and the AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) programme from the European Union, the World Customs Organization Framework of Standards, the IMO/ISPS code and ISO 28000 are just some examples of what has already been achieved.
