Transport of High-value goods

The security of freight to be transported is an important spearhead within V.V.T. Europa. Our organisation has invested in people, resources and services in many different ways, to be able to provide as much guarantee as possible for the security of our clients’ goods. Our security statistics prove this fact. V.V.T. Europa is proud of its service provision.

V.V.T. Europa transports High Value and Vulnerable Cargo. We have a wide range of resources and procedures to enable this. Standard procedures for truck and freight security are very important to us. Every client ultimately has their own security procedures, and we are happy to adapt our service accordingly.

The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) is a unique forum that unites global manufacturers, logistics providers, freight carriers, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders with the common aim of reducing losses from international supply chains. (Source: www.tapaemea.com).

Lloyds Rotterdam audits our security and procedures every year. In 2010 we were certified by PACT GMBH for the transportation of high-tech products, and in 2011 for our warehousing (storage management). We are also audited every year by PACT (see www.pact-logistics.com).

V.V.T. Europa employs a strict recruitment procedure, including a security check on all personnel. All employees are also given external training every year in the field of International Security.
