WE INVITE YOU TO INCREASE THE RESILIENCE OF YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN…
TRAINING REACH GROWS
In the next issue of Vigilant we’ll be giving an update on our latest TAPA Standards training session, which attracted participants from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Thanks to Ilya Smolentsev and our other trainers for reinforcing TAPA’s focus in these countries and for supporting the supply chain security programmes of all the companies represented.
BECOME A PSR
AMBASSADOR Our Parking Security Requirements (PSR) are gaining strong support from Parking Place Operators (PPOs) and we know our database of secure trucking parking places can grow at an even faster pace if we can increase our group of PSR Ambassadors. Are you willing to volunteer?
As our new PSR Lead, Ionel Popa, reports, we now have over 7,300 TAPA-approved secure truck parking places accessible to members using our Security Parking Online Tool (SPOT). These are at 71 locations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain and the United Kingdom… and we have more partners about to sign up.
If you work with parking sites and have contacts you can introduce PSR to, you will make a great Ambassador for us. I am confident these PPOs
BOOSTING BOOKINGS FOR SECURE TRUCK PARKS
WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU
The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) was formed 23 years ago by leading global Manufacturers & Logistics Service Providers to make their supply chains more resilient. Today, TAPA is the world’s leading Security Expert Network for everyone in the supply chain.
Over this time, our members have worked with us to create industry-leading Security Standards for Facilities and Trucking operations to help protect their high value, theft targeted (HVTT) goods through their end-to-end supply chains … and now they’re setting the standard for secure truck parking in the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region.
Our Parking Security Requirements (PSR) are for Parking Place Operators (PPOs) which want to demonstrate the proven resilience of their truck parking sites to large potential customers working to reduce three key statistics:
• >€8.2 billion, the estimated annual cost of cargo crime in Europe • >95% of all recorded crimes involve attacks of trucks
• >53% of cargo losses in 2019 targeted trucks in unsecured parking places
We invite you to join us to make supply chains more secure and, in doing so, to achieve new growth opportunities for your secure trucking parking business. We are stronger together.

NO PLACE TO HIDE
THORSTEN NEUMANN President & CEO TAPA EMEA
When I see police operations like the one which has just recovered €2 million of rare books stolen from a warehouse in the UK in 2017, it gives me a great sense of encouragement to know that our law enforcement agency partners are working proactively to arrest cargo thieves and recover stolen goods, even so long after the original crimes took place. Congratulations to Europol and Eurojust – also partners of ours in Project CARGO – and to the national police forces which cooperated in this successful operation. An outstanding outcome!
will quickly understand our value proposition, no matter how big or small their sites are. Our database currently includes sites with between two and 600 truck parking spaces.
We also have a new PSR brochure for our Ambassadors to use which clearly outlines the Standard, how to join and the benefits of being part of the TAPA Family. Ask for more information by contacting

SHARING OUR EXPERTISE
We are always looking for ways to help our members get up and running with our TAPA Security Standards. The latest added value is our new Locking Systems Guidance (LSG) which has been designed to help companies adopting our Trucking Security Requirements. If you work for one of these companies, you will find this 41-page guide extremely helpful and informative.
Special thanks go to TAPA members Pieter Sutorius, former owner of Trans-Safety LOCKS, and Greg Haber, President of Babaco Alarm Systems Inc., for sharing their specialist knowledge with us, which makes the Guidance so practical and informative. If you are a Subject Matter Expert in any other fields of supply chain resilience and want to help us provide other benefits for our members, please get in touch.
