Cargo protection during transportation is a complex of security measures taken to prevent theft or damage of transported inventory items.

Providing safety of valuable cargo is a responsible and demanding task associated with many dangers and risks both for the cargo itself and for persons accompanying it. That is why it is imperative to provide specialized security organizations for cargo security. 

 When implementing cargo security measures, “TYPHOON” Ltd often uses its entire arsenal: proven trained personnel, armament, equipment, communications, information, and communication resources.

Factors determining the list of security measures during cargo transportation:

  • general characteristics and dimensions of the cargo;
  • specifics of storage and transportation of cargo;
  • value and cost of the cargo;
  • delivery schedule and route;
  • area crime level and the operational situation on the route;
  • type and technical characteristics of vehicles used for transportation;
  • cargo packaging;
  • other factors in their totality.

For this task, a senior guard of the escort unit is appointed. They maintain the security forces and means, responsible for the safety of the cargo, the discipline, and readiness of the guards, the coordination between all accompanying persons, the organization of interaction with the consignor and consignee, as well as operational communication with the emergency services and the operating duty officer of SA “TYPHOON” Ltd.While on duty, security personnel may carry weapons and equipment approved for use in private security activity. The management of “TYPHOON” Ltd. determines the composition of the group, armament, and equipment. Its choices depend on the criminal situation on the route, the type of transport, the specificity of the cargo, and many other factors.
