The Cargo Theft Initiative<\/a>, which IBC and the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) launched in Ontario in 2014, brings together the insurance industry, the trucking community, law enforcement and other stakeholders to raise awareness of the dangers and costs associated with cargo theft and to assist in the recovery of stolen goods.<\/p>\nHistorically, cargo theft has often gone unreported because there are so many different parts of the transportation process that it can be overlooked.\u00a0 The cargo theft reporting program aims to raise awareness about cargo theft crime and bring together various stakeholders to crack down on it.<\/p>\n
The success of the program is illustrated in a case that occurred last summer in Ontario.\u00a0 The cargo theft reporting database \u2013 the heart of the program \u2013 facilitated communication between insurance companies and law enforcement regarding the return of goods.\u00a0 This communication led to a police raid in which the police were able to identify the owners of approximately $1.4 million in stolen goods.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo fight cargo theft, we must be as organized as the criminals.\u00a0 Cargo theft is not a victimless crime.\u00a0 It is exacting a human toll, costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars and threatening the security of Canadians.\u00a0 This initiative and strengthened partnership will help curb this type of crime and protect people in our communities,\u201d says Amanda Dean, Vice-President, Atlantic, IBC<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nCargo crime is a major issue across Canada but one that is growing in our province and it\u2019s affecting our economy, local businesses, our livelihood, and local trucking companies,\u201d added APTA Executive Director Jean Marc Picard. \u201cCargo theft in New Brunswick represents 10\u2019s of millions of dollars and can be as severe as shutting down businesses due to the cost associated with the thefts.\u00a0 One stolen trailer can be worth up to $250,000 in value, therefore it can put a business under overnight.\u00a0 Truck Transportation is the #1 mode to move goods in our province, an industry that is important to our economy and employs over 20,000 people.\u00a0 It\u2019s imperative that we collaborate as a team and develop strategies to solve this problem\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
