New trend in cargo security technology asset protection association (TAPA)

摘要

In response to the growing needs of the latest developments in the logistics industry, freight forwarders must have a comprehensive understanding of their liabilities, and be aware of the importance of security, so as to help reduce risks and increase efficiency on the supply chain. At the Greater China Freight Forwarding and Logistics Conference 2003, Mr. David Fielder, the Director of Regional Security, Asia Pacific Panalpina Asia Pacific Services Limited and Secretary, introduced a new development in cargo security, namely Technology Asset Protection Association (TAPA). Basically, TAPA is a forum for security, insurance and logistics professionals representing high technology companies to address emerging cargo security threats that are common to the technology industry to ensure safe and secure shipping.
