PRESS RELEASE – MAY 11th 2021. In response to the latest decisions by the UK Government regarding penalties and fines for truck drivers failing to secure their vehicles:
Seguratainer designs, manufactures and installs high security locks for shipping containers and closed body trucks.
Our keyless locks are powered by NFC (the same technology of touchless banking cards): only the authorised person’s phone can act as the key, and cargo owners have 24/7 access to grant or deny access rights and follow a live audit trail record of their goods.
In recent news, the UK Government decided to increase the fine up to £5,000 per person illegally found stowed away on board trucks entering Britain.
At Seguratainer we are fully committed in the fight against cargo theft, human trafficking and corruption. We are also committed to create a healthier and more transparent supply chain ecosystem, protecting all parties involved. In this journey, Seguratainer wishes to include and offer solutions for the most exposed link in the shipping industry chain: the truck drivers.
In the words of Simon Prosser, Director at Seguratainer:
“It is unreasonable to shift the pressure onto the truck drivers with increased fines and penalties. Human trafficking and illegal migration are complex issues that represent not only a daily human tragedy but also a cumbersome stress and cost factor for the supply chain. Simplifying the effort to find solutions by putting truck drivers on the spot is not only unfair but also falls short of the expected duty of governing bodies: to attempt to solve a problem by implementing preventive measures. We decided to tackle both problems at once: we will reimburse any driver whose truck is fitted with our locks if they have been compromised, which is beyond unlikely! We help improve the overall supply chain ecosystem with a simple message: a fine, a stolen load, these are signs you acted too late. A high security lock will save you time, money and improve the shipping experience for all parties.”
That is The Seguratainer Promise: we will reimburse the fine to any truck driver equipped with a Seguratainer locking system if the lock is compromised.
With Seguratainer patented locks, your container and closed bodytruck doors become unbreakable!
