TAPA Membership Soars as Major Brands Look to Prevent Record Cargo Losses


Cargo worth more than €80 million


from


supply chains in the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region in the first nine months of 2019, according to the latest data from the Transported Asset Protection Association’s (TAPA) Incident Information Service (IIS). Cargo thefts were recorded


from all modes of transport as thieves targeted products moving via road, air, ocean and rail services, averaging a loss of €293,000 every single day of the year, based on crimes sharing financial data with the Association. With cargo crime already


at a record level in 2019, more global brands are joining TAPA to boost the resilience of their supply chains. Already this year, 65 more companies have joined the Association to access TAPA’s cargo crime intelligence database, industry standards for


facilities, trucking and


secure parking, training and networking


opportunities.


This includes global manufacturing brands in the pharmaceutical, food & drink, fashion & retail, and cosmetics & hygiene sectors as well as multinational and leading SME logistics providers. “Our membership is at its


highest-ever level because cargo crime is also at its highest-ever level,” said Thorsten Neumann, President & CEO of TAPA EMEA. “More and more manufacturers and logistics service providers


the Association’s IIS database, due largely to the support and crime information given to TAPA EMEA by law enforcement agencies in both countries. France saw a total of 146 actual or attempted cargo thefts, 24.5% of the Q3/19 total, while the Netherlands accounted for 136 or 22.8%. Seven other countries


now understand the growing level of risks their supply chains are facing. They recognise the importance of keeping their high value, theft targeted goods secure as well as the broad range of financial and reputational consequences which result from cargo crime.: TAPA helps companies to


understand the geographic areas where


cargo thieves


are most active, the locations they


target, the modus


operandi they are using, and the goods most at risk. “We can also help them adopt industry standards to make their facilities and trucking operations more secure and give them access to our growing database of secure truck parking places,” said Neumann. “With the launch of our latest Security Standards in 2020, we will help to ensure our members’ supply chains are more resilient than ever before.”


The nine-month figure


includes a substantial €26,455,200 of goods stolen in Q3 2019, even though only 23.8% of the 596*cargo crimes reported to TAPA’s IIS in the EMEA region in the three months ended 30 September stated a loss value. The Association has previously announced freight losses of more than €34.2m and €21m in its Q1/19 and Q2/19 intelligence reports. Despite such high value


losses, TAPA EMEA continues to reiterate that the majority of cargo crimes are still not reported to its IIS database and that losses in Europe alone are estimated to now be costing businesses billions of euros a year when all factors are taken into account. In the third quarter of 2019,


TAPA received reports of cargo losses in 22 countries in EMEA. France and the Netherlands recorded the highest number of crimes in


recorded double-digit incident rates: United Kingdom – 70 incidents or 11.8% of the Q3 total; Russia – 66 or 11.1%; Germany – 38 or 6.4%; Spain – 37 or 6.2%; South Africa – 36 or 6%; Italy – 15 or 2.5%; Belgium – 11 or 1.9%. Thieves targeted goods


in 19 TAPA IIS product categories, led by 60 crimes involving losses of food and drink products. In Q3/19, there were also double-digit thefts of furniture and household appliances, tobacco, trucks and/or trailers, metal, clothing and footwear, tools and building materials, cash-in- transit, car parts, computers and laptops, and cosmetics and hygiene goods. Q3 data shows 18 major


cargo thefts with a value of €100,000 or more. The highest value crime in the quarter involved a seven- figure


loss of diamonds,


earrings, necklaces and watches after thieves forced their way into a luxury goods warehouse in South Africa and overpowered the staff. The incident took place at an Origin Facility in Sandton, Gauteng province, on 9
