CARGO SECURITY* USA: West Coast port security at risk because of huge backlog, FreightWatch warns

* California - The frenetic situation will be rife with opportunity for cargo criminals

-- As the massive backlog of cargo begins to release into the supply chain, the frenetic situation will be rife with opportunity for cargo criminals, FreightWatch cautioned... After reaching a tentative union agreement that covers the West Coast’s 29 seaports, dockworkers are clearing a mammoth backlog of cargo, but FreightWatch warns that in the rush to get goods moved and loaded, cargo safety could take a back seat, adding that fewer and fewer drivers have knowledge of cargo security protocols.... Layered security measures are recommended, such as covert GPS tracking and active monitoring... The group said that from 2013 to 2014, 25 percent of all loaded cargo theft in the U.S.A. occurred within 200 miles of the ports of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, with crimes higher than the national average: 81 percent for clothing and shoes and 47 percent for electronics...
