Lufthansa Cargo security chief seeks global uniform standards

A Frankfurt (Germany) conference on international aviation security has focused on problems arising from differing standards imposed by the European Union and the United States writes Shipping Gazette.

Lufthansa Cargo security chief Harald Zielinski said there was an urgent need to harmonise security rules in the airfreight industry:

RIG SECURE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE We have just fitted the first Sentinel Seals on service trucks & vans operating at London City Airport. The Sentinel is perfectly suited to sealing light vans and trucks and is the perfect solution to any chain of custody protocol.

      

 

 FreightWatch International, a global logistics security solutions provider, reports in its 2010 Global Threat Assessment that cargo theft rates increased dramatically in the Western Hemisphere between January and December 2009, while in Europe and Asia, cargo theft rates have remained largely constant or in some cases have decreased.
