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.
Seguratainer is proudly made in South Africa.
Our country of origin has provided us with one of the most challenging markets in the shipping industry when it comes to cargo safety, and we have risen up to the challenge with our patented locking solutions. We effectively work with stakeholders all across the board. Our locks -some powered with GPS and GSM opening/closing, others powered by keyless and battery-free NFC technology- protect goods worth hundreds of millions of dollars being shipped within and outside the country every single day. Now we want to help protect your cargo too.
Our mission is to increase security and transparency throughout the supply chain. Let's fight cargo theft together. From South Africa to the world!
The safest container in the world is the one where you don’t even see the lock.
Look at the picture below. Seems like a normal container but 4 bolts are locking the doors. Good luck breaking into that one…
This is one of the models from Seguratainer Internal Locks family, for shipping containers and closed body trucks: locking mechanisms hiding and protected inside the container, no keys, no batteries, 24/7 audit trail. High security and full access control.

If the doors of the truck are not secured, don't blame the parking lot.
Canadian truck drivers were asked about cargo theft and security measures in Canada. In Toronto only, goods worth of 500.000 USD are being stolen every day. Unfortunately, the security measures pointed out as preferred options fall short. Most of those -GPS, security cameras- are not enough to stop criminal activity: they do not make it harder to actually access the load. Some criminals will smile to the camera while they walk away with your goods...
So, unsecured truck parking lots are certainly a factor in cargo theft but by no means the only or even the most relevant one: trucks are being robbed even during transit, cargo is being stolen in broad daylight. Security must start at the core: keeping the truck doors locked for good.
When asked about it, 69% of Canadian truck drivers admit they did not feel their loads were secured against cargo theft, 34% have lost a load to cargo theft and 47% believed truck drivers are less safe than the general population when on the road.

So much work ahead: cargo theft doubled in 2019 with an average daily loss in the EMEA region last year of €378,058! According to TAPA’s report as read at Trans.Info news portal:
The incident rate is the highest recorded in TAPA’s 23-year history as the leading Security Expert Network for everyone in the supply chain. In its Incident Information Service (IIS) Annual Report 2019, the Association also reveals average losses for major cargo crimes of €536,889 and an average daily loss in the EMEA region last year of €378,058.
Among the different techniques used by criminals is fake identity to pick up the goods:
"Other modus operandi used by #cargo thieves during the year included a significant number of fraudulent pickups by offenders using a fake driver and company identities, and cloned vehicles."
The solution? Seguratainer allows you to pre-define a designated person (and mobile phone) to open the lock and access the goods. No way to fake that. It's time to put real security solutions at work to protect your trucks and containers.
