Cargo security is the security detail assigned to protect and observe a cargo shipment from loading to delivery. The goal of cargo security is to ensure freight is inspected at loading, and safely gets to the delivery point. This can be the same for all mediums – sea, air, and land. A land cargo security, for example, could be two security agents following in on a car or a team of agents performing varying roles. Like escorting a vehicle en-route. Providing advanced reconnaissance, covert observation, and guarding the load at depots and stops.
Because highly-priced goods are being freighted daily. According to a Home Office report, freight crime costs the UK a whopping £250m every year. More alarming is that the UK accounts for at least 79 percent of all reported high-value cargo-related crimes in Europe. With an estimated £92 million in stock lost to the threat in 2020. This is only for reported crimes. Now consider the items lost in transit then there would be no point!
No matter the means of transportation, cargo shipments will always be vulnerable to hijacking and theft. With multi-billion pounds of cargo lost every year and shipment theft reaching an all-time high. It is [now] more important than ever to reduce risks and improve security measures to keep goods safe and intact.
