Cargo Crime, Customs and Supply-Chain Programmes
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
Your client, a container terminal, has applied to the customs authority for trusted-operator status. The customs auditors will ask how the terminal controls its gates and yards. Half of the answer is your guards. The terminal's compliance manager sends you a list of forty questions and asks for your procedures, training records and incident figures by Friday.
A guarding agency does not catch smugglers and does not investigate cargo theft. Customs and the police do that. What the agency controls is narrower and very useful: the gate routine, the records, the honesty of its people and the speed of its reports.
Focus: treat cargo crime as a programme, not as a series of separate incidents. Know the kinds of loss, keep the routine at your control points, keep records that customs and the client can rely on, protect your people from pressure, and cooperate through the proper channel.
Learning objectives
- Name the main kinds of cargo crime that a port programme plans for, without going into method.

- Build the cargo part of your theft-prevention programme: control points, separation of duties, integrity and data.
- Act correctly when a loss or a find is reported.
