Security system provides remote viewing option

WITH SAFETY and security top of mind in any warehousing operation, Shipping & General has invested R150 000 in a 32- camera CCTV system which provides a 360 degree view of its warehousing operations. “Remote viewing gives us 24-hour access to the facility and enables us to record all movements from time of unpack right until the point at which the client’s cargo is loaded for despatch," says MD Regan Moodley “The ability to view from a cell-phone means that we are constantly in the loop.” In a further development the company recently purchased 18000 m2 of land which is currently being developed as a container depot for full and empty containers within a 5km radius of City Deep. “We are eagerly anticipating completion of this project which will further enhance our service offering to our clients. “The depot will also be operated on a 24-hour basis, and will serve as an alternate after-hours depot for transporters and shipping lines.”
