Sydney-based Freight and Trade Alliance (FTA) is partnering with Certis Security Australia to improve security in Australia’s supply chain.
“A high demand for goods has seen our ports become congested alongside a boom in ecommerce air cargo volume," said Paul Zalai, director, FTA."This has seen an increased usage of intermodal terminals and other licensed premises to receive goods under customs and biosecurity control, away from the security of our ports and airports.
“In order to safeguard the community, it’s important these facilities operate under stricter regulatory controls that maintain the same security as a port or airport. It’s no longer enough to install a barbed-wire fence and CCTV surveillance as the entire security operation. Organisations need to implement sophisticated and effective technology-led security solutions that protect the supply chain."
“The pandemic has intensified the volume of products transported through the supply chain; in ensuring each product entering our borders is compliant with Australian legislation, the right security talent and technologies is needed at every step of the supply chain,” said Christian Dorau, general manager at Certis Security Australia.
