More and more truck stops in the Europe, Middle East (Emea) region are joining the list of facilities that meet the Transported Asset Protection Association (Tapa) Emea’s Parking Security Requirement (PSR).
According to a recent statement, its database now includes 7 200 parking places at 68 secure sites in 11 countries – Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Slovakia Spain and the United Kingdom and South Africa. South Africa however has only one facility based in Gauteng
Criminal attacks on trucks accounted for 53.8% of the 8 548 cargo crimes reported to Tapa’s Incident Information Service (IIS) in 2019. Tapa members effectively protect their supply chains by using the Association’s digital supply chain resilience tools. This includes identifying cargo crimes on specific transport routings across Emea to support risk assessment and loss prevention, alongside a listing of the nearest Tapa-approved secure parking locations to ensure drivers, vehicles and high-value, theft-targeted loads remain safe during mandatory rest breaks.
