DHL at Pudong in Shanghai
In a bid to safeguard valuable cargo against theft and pilferage, DHL Global Forwarding has forged security partnerships with Air China Cargo and Shanghai Pudong International Airport Cargo Terminal. The idea is to co-operate in crime prevention and to come up with standard procedures to meet shippers’ security requirements.
Under the memorandum of understanding, the three parties agree on standard operating procedures for high-value and high-risk cargo. A working committee involving participants from the three sides as well as from trucking companies and other outfits involved in air cargo processing will be formed with a brief to improve handling procedures for valuable cargo.
In addition, the three partners will share best practices and information about crime trends and launch joint investigations. The three companies intend to set up a joint task force to implement crime prevention measures.
According to DHL Global Forwarding, the agreement with Air China and PACTL is the first security partnership of this kind in China.
