TAPA IIS INTELLIGENCE


15


With cargo thefts at unsecured parking locations accounting for 173 or 85.1% of incidents in November, it’s time for


action not words in the drive for more secure parking


The urgent need for a network of secure parking places in Europe isn’t news anymore because so much has been said and written on the subject in recent years without there being any noticeable improvement. In fact, cargo crimes at unsecured parking places in the EMEA region continue to dominate newly- recorded freight thefts in the Association’s Incident Information Service (IIS) database.


In 2018, to have any hope of reducing the level of cargo losses in the region, those words must be replaced with action and as the world’s leading Supply Chain Security Experts network, TAPA is leading the charge with the introduction of its new Parking Security Requirements (PSR). With the required background infrastructure now in place to support the new Standard, it will be the subject of a proactive sales and marketing campaign to bring Parking Place Operators onboard in Europe.


Every TAPA EMEA Manufacturer and Logistics Service Provider member stands to benefit if the Association is successful in creating a robust network of TAPA-certified parking sites – but this isn’t going to happen overnight. It will, however, progress at a much faster rate if members actively get involved. This is a topic we will return to in the January 2018 issue of Vigilant.
