• We don’t abide to the definition of Finnish startup. Our New Business Development Director, Mr. Stefan Carrizo, does live in Finland but the company remains a Singapore registered entity with R&D in South Africa.

• We provide solutions that go beyond security seals. We provide patented external claw locks and full integrated internal locks. Both locking systems are designed to withstand heavy duty attacks.

In this report you will learn about cargo theft and cargo crime risks, areas most affected by it, profile of goods stolen and other relevant information to prepare you business against it.

The report also touches on one of the weakest links in the supply chain: keys, which can be copied, stolen, lost or kept by former workers upon termination of their assignments. Physical keys are a costly liability that no modern security system should have to bear with.

Seguratainer always takes the stand of prevention as best defense: patented locking systems for shipping containers and closed body trucks to keep your cargo safe and provide you with a 24/ audit trail. Our locks are powered by iLOQ’s NFC Technology making them 100% keyless and battery free.

Beware of the extended economic damage from cargo theft

In this must-read article from Devin Nye published by Supply Chain Brain, Cargo Theft: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, dives into the full economic impact caused by cargo theft throughout the supply chain. The financial damage extends way beyond the value of the goods stolen and trickle down all the way to the consumer who absorbs a part of the costs from an global issue.

The value of lost cargo is a huge, vague cost to consumers. Stolen cargo increases the cost of the remaining product sold, as vendors and manufacturers raise prices and pass along the cost to the consumer. Companies choosing to make a claim must pay increased insurance costs with higher rates and deductibles. Many choose not to in order to avoid higher financial costs as well as damage to their reputation, the latter of which is far less tangible. They fear that reporting a theft will cause them to be viewed as irresponsible or unconcerned about their own products.

Seguratainer’s mission is to see the number of incidents and worldwide losses decrease as the security of the supply chain increases: providing heavy duty locking systems to protect the containers and closed body trucks and giving a 24/7 audit trail to make transparency and accountability the new norm.

Don’t settle for less. Protect your cargo.
