Truck hijackings account for 24pc of cargo theft worldwide: study
THE British Standards Institution (BSI) and and marine insurers of the TT Club say that violent truck hijackings account for 24 per cent of cargo theft incidents globally, with food and drink being the most targeted items at 27 per cent.
BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions and leading international transport and logistics insurer, TT Club have issued the first joint 2018 Semi-Annual Global Cargo Theft Intelligence and Advisory Report.
The report brings together threat and intelligence data from BSI's supply chain security country risk intelligence tool, SCREEN and TT Club's insurance risk management and loss prevention insights.
After food and drink, consumer products and high-tech industries suffer most. Transport by road is the most often targeted mode for cargo crime across the globe, attributed to over 75 per cent of all cargo theft incidents, with warehousing being the second most vulnerable target at 19 per cent.
