In 2020, TAPA Asia Pacific achieved a new training milestone with close to 700 of the region’s members successfully completing courses in support of the Association’s revised Facility Security Requirements (FSR) and Trucking Security Requirements (TSR) as well as APAC’s Guarding Security Requirements (GSR) and Business Continuity training events.


Overall, the region conducted 32 separate training sessions in both English and Mandarin languages to help Asia Pacific members understand and adopt the latest TAPA FSR and TSR Security Standards, launched on 1 July 2020. The TAPA 2020 Standards provide a more holistic approach to securing and increasing the resilience of complete end-to-end supply chains against rising threat levels.


Top member countries with participants completing TAPA training courses last year included China, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. As one of the first industry organizations to respond to the Covid-19 crisis in early 2020, TAPA APAC also introduced a new Business Continuity Response Planning (BCRP) course to help members react to, and manage, operational disruption and delays in the most effective way.


In line with Covid-19 remote working requirements, training events were also quickly transformed from face-to-face sessions to interactive, online courses and webinars to not only maintain but grow the number of regional members able to attend courses. The courses involved one- to two-day online webinar classes conducted by certified TAPA trainers, followed by an online assessment where members received an e-Certificate of Completion upon obtaining the passing mark.


The 2020 revision of TAPA’s FSR Standard has been enhanced with the option of multi-site certification for members to enable them to implement the TAPA Standard across groups of facilities in the most efficient manner and ensure a consistent security regime at all sites, promoting operational efficiencies and reducing cost of adoption across company networks. The latest TAPA 2020 Standards support members’ existing supply chain compliance programs alongside other regulatory standards, including C-TPAT, AEO, PIP and STP, and increase their resilience against cargo crime.


To meet TAPA members’ trucking security needs, the TSR 2020 Standard has also been updated and enhanced to cover vans, soft- sided trailers, hard-sided trailers, and ocean containers by road. Similarly, the latest TSR offers optional additions for multi-modal operators covering tracking and monitoring, locking, rail transfer, security escorts and information security.


“TAPA members are the most security- conscious supply chain players and have a commitment to adopt and practice the latest security standards in their daily operations. Like TAPA, our members are committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and resilience within their supply chains to reduce the risk of cargo losses. We would like to thank our members, trainers, auditors, and partners for sharing their concerns and feedback during the development of the new TAPA 2020 Standards. This year, we look forward to launching new Standard requirements on cyber security, which is a great concern for many members,” said Lina Li, Chairperson of TAPA Asia Pacific.
