31 Inbound Quality Control Insure use of proper inbound quality control audits, as some losses may not be your responsibility. ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 31

32 Central Monitoring Tracking Cells /7 Drivers not allowed to use shortcuts or low density side roads Drivers must travel on main highways or toll roads, whenever possible. If he must leave route, he must first notify tracking cell If hauling international shipments, the driver cannot make stops before 300 kms and 100 kms for local shipments The operator must follow the route that tracking cell sets ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 32

33 Geofencing with Central Monitoring ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 33

34 Geofencing with Central Monitoring ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 34

35 Automated Tracking Device System A B N The tracking operator is the weak link in the chain because defensive actions depend on his alertness. If the operator fails to follow the standard protocol, protection procedures fail. An automatic program takes action as soon as any alert is received, regardless of operator actions. ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 35

36 Tracking Devices Tracking Cell When a vehicle must be tracked, the tracking cell should be a reputable and vetted company. Professional tracking operators can make a huge difference, and performance should be monitored regularly. Minimum Tracking Cell Infrastructure Internet connection in large band Dedicated computer UPS (Unit Power Supplier) Software compatible with tracking technology Insure that all Tracking Device Accessories are clearly defined in the Formal Security Agreement (FSA) with carrier.

40 Tracking and Monitoring. Along the route, we can detect the exact location of gas stations and schedules / timings of allowed stops or when truck was parked in public places ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 40

41 Tracking and Monitoring. Detailed reports of the truck progress are received, also if arrival to destination with client and confirmation from geofence. ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 41

42 Escort Practices GPS 2 1 x 2 x 1 X 1, X 2 : Escort positioning must guarantee the widest cone of observance ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 42

43 Success Story While delivering cargo for a high-end fashion retailer, a truck was approached by two armed bandits at a red traffic light. He immediately pressed the panic button to reach the central monitoring center. Monitoring center personnel activated the reaction protocol disengaging the engine of the truck and requesting police support. The would-be thieves left the truck and fled leaving the cargo, with a value of USD 81K intact, but taking the keys! The quick reaction of the operator and central monitoring station personnel, prevented the hi-jack attempt and the merchandise was delivered safely, albeit un-conventionally, to the customer.

45 Due Diligence Limiting Liability and Establishing Protocols in the Formal Security Agreement (FSA) Maximum Value Define security protocols and include them in the contract The FSA should define the maximum value the client will allow in one shipment Shipments over the value agreed should only be shipped after formal communication from client or insurance owner Escort Protection FSA should also specify the minimum escort value that triggers escort use The radius where escorts are to be used (distance from origin) Door to door escorts are not usual due to the cost. The efficiency is questionable FSA and Operational Protocol Escort Protocol ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 45

46 Due Diligence Security Agreement with Carrier Carrier Contract Agreement Clear definition of insurance responsibility during cargo transportation (hijacking, truck theft and accident). Formal and part of commercial contract Any new carrier should be contracted only after a formal security agreement is signed Subrogation Formal Security Agreement (FSA) with carriers Formal Security Agreement ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 46

52 Best Practices Harden the Target Additional and optional equipment added in the truck or trailer to improve security Cargo portable tracker Cabin windows mesh Truck stair protection Disposable portable trackers Uses GPRS and RF and is placed inside the product box Expensive but efficient ISCPO Cargo Security Summit September 8,2015 DHL Page 52

53 Best Practices Harden the Target Armored Trailer & Vans Protects the trailer using steel mesh and steel plates (2 mm); coffer door with electronic lock with random access. Cheaper than an armored cabin Short payback if it is possible to change the escort protection Efficient in short distance in use second tracking device.
