• The manufacture of containers is so standardised that it is now too late to incorporate new security features.
That's the belief of Tony Allen, chairman of the Road Haulage Association security committee. He argues that hauliers need to focus more on security procedures while goods are in transit rather than special locks and other devices.
"If you make containers so secure, thieves will go in through the roof or the side and repair it afterwards. No matter what you come up with, there is always a way round it," He says that if seals are diecked at every stage during a *rney, it is much easier to trace where a break-in took place.
The experience of Essex-based BT Cullum 8c, Son shows that even this may not be enough to foil criminals.
One of its trucks was found to have five stowaways inside despite rigorous checks undertaken by the driver.
Eventually, it was discovered that the plasticcoated DR cord had been cut with bolt-croppers and then fused back together again with a blowtorch.
