The pandemic has disrupted the global supply chain. This has created a situation where cargo is being stored for long periods of time in unattended or improvised storage areas and increasing the likelihood of theft or vandalism. To help you mitigate losses, we recommend the following control measures:

• Ensure the storage yard is fully secured using chain link fence and adequate lightning.
• Monitor site access at all times.
• Establish and implement a policy requiring permission for vehicles to leave the site.
• Limit access to shipping paperwork.
