ONLY 0.005 per cent of the value of goods passing through the docks of the Port of London Authority last year were lost through theft or pilferage.
This was stated by Mr Peter Gannon, chief constable of the PLA. when he was speaking at the European meeting of the General Stevedoring Council in Malta last week. Some 200 ports are represented by the council. Mr Gannon explained how new highly successful methods for ensuring the security of containers initiated at the PLA's Tilbury Docks would be helpful if adopted internationally.
He stressed that there was a need for an internationally applied code of practice to ensure the maintenance of a high standard of security for containerized cargoes.
