How Secure is Your Ocean Freight?

The importance of security in ocean freight shipping can’t be overstated. One recent study found that cargo shipping theft increased industry-wide by 12% in 2009. Electronics and pharmaceuticals were the main targets of thieves, costing shippers a lot of money.

That’s why it’s important that you choose an ocean freight company that offers excellent security at all times. When choosing an ocean freight provider, ask them these security-related questions:

• Do you offer around the clock monitoring of shipments? If no one is watching your shipment, that’s when thieves can jump into action to take advantage of the lack of security. Amerijet offers around the clock monitoring of all shipments, keeping a close eye on every shipment..
• Are your facilities watched by security officers? Many thefts take place while shipments are being held on the docks. At Amerijet, we employ on-site security officers at all of our facilities, warehouses and ramp operations.. The security of your freight is at our upmost importance. These security officers are always vigilant, helping keep theft to a minimum.
• Do you have security cameras at your warehouses? In the event that something does happen, you want to make sure it’s caught on tape. Amerijet’s facilities are equipped with closed-circuit video surveillance, which records all activities around-the-clock..
• Can I track my shipment? The ability to track your shipment ensures that it doesn’t just allow you to know where your shipment is at any time. Bar-coding and tracking add to the security of your shipment from acceptance to delivery. With Amerijet, you can track your shipment in real time by entering your tracking number on our website.
