Securi-Track, the vehicle and asset tracking service operated by security company Securi-Guard, has won a contract to monitor fish transportation in Scandinavia….
The Plymouth-based security company provide live 24/7 monitoring of the secure transportation of fish from the Nordic regions to Italy. This will be done via its Secure Operating Centre (SOC) at Estover, which is linked to the UKโรรดs 52 police forces and other emergency services. The contract also involves Securi-Guardโรรดs European partners in the Securi-Track service, providing a security response to the clients, should any of the lorries be targets for hijackers or thieves. In the event of an incident, the European partners communicate with their own countryโรรดs emergency services, getting around any language barriers. This can help to speed the process of recovering a stolen or hijacked lorry, as well as its driver and load.
It was Lars Albaek, owner of Danish company Al-Kon, who asked Securi-Track to provide the monitoring and European Response Service for the fish transportation. He works with the insurers CONDAN Insurance Denmark/Norway, part of the Sun Alliance Group, and the Norwegian transport company Redline Int Thermo, who operate the deliveries. It is a requirement of the Italian authorities that deliveries of this type are safeguarded at all times.
Lars said he was particularly impressed that Securi-Guard was not only able to advise on the performance of the new tracking devices for the transport vehicles, but monitor both the new and the old models simultaneously during the switch-over. Having worked with Securi-Guard, on other European services he was also confident in the companyโรรดs ability to deliver the level of service he was looking for via Securi-Track.
โรรบSecuri-Guard and Securi-Track are among the leaders in the field for monitoring high risk, high value transports and I had no hesitation in securing their services for this contract,โรรน said Lars. โรรบTheir systems knowledge, as well as their understanding of what my requirements were, resulted in a complete solution that is being delivered in a highly professional manner. I was very confident in their ability to deliver such a solution and I have not been disappointed.โรรน
Pete Stanley, Head of Telematics at Securi-Guard and who was in charge of developing the Securi-Track service, said: โรรบSecuri-Track continues to set new standards in the field of vehicle and asset monitoring and we are delighted to be able to deliver a monitoring service that is absolutely tailored to Larsโรรด needs.โรรน
Typically, says Securi-Guard, tracking companies go through a third-party operator when reporting incidents of vehicle thefts or hijacking abroad, who in turn alerts the authorities in the country of the crime.
In contrast, Securi-Guardโรรดs computer system removes the third party service from the process and links to security companies in key European countries.
