Think before you cut container seals, says TT Club

[ August 19, 2024   //   ]

Insurer TT Club has warned that container seals are being ignored and that opportunities to identify location, method and perpetrators of cargo theft are being missed. In its latest Security Bulletin, the Club says that personnel at the receiving warehouse view the seal as a nuisance, something that needs to be cut from the doors prior to them opening the container and unpacking it. However, identifying any tampering with the seal can be vital insofar as liability is concerned, helping to pinpoint exactly how the theft occurred, who was involved and where goods were damaged or stolen. The knowledge can also help companies avoid future incidents, it adds.
