Tracking and escort service ensures container safety

In a country where the crime rate is fast getting out of hand and hitting out at every level of society and industry, containers on the move are amongst the ideal targets for criminal attack. Recognising this susceptibility, the cargosecuring company Secure Logistics provides, amongst other services, a full container clamping and tracking operation, supported by container armed escorting, according to owner Andre Du Venage. “This offers peace of mind to clients,” he told FTW, “and all at an acceptable cost, as we provide our services at highly competitive rates.” Secure Logistics maintains a continuous watch on the container, using advanced tracking technology to monitor and control each step of its path. And part of the trick of its operation is the ingenious container clamp with which the company supplies its clients. “The tracking is built into the clamp,” said Du Venage, “and not easily noticeable due to the small size of tracking device.” This acts as invisible eyes for the security company, but is supported by what could be termed the protective muscle in the service package – with a full armed escort back-up service available to and from all the major harbours in SA. “This combination of tracking and escorting,” said Du Venage, “is the best possible means of defence available in the market.”
