SHANGHAI, July 29 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- CEVA, a leading global supply chain management company, has won gold medal for the Most Secure Warehouse in 2008 at Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) Cargo Zone.
Following a rigorous independent assessment of CEVA Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) depot's security infrastructure, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau (PSB) has awarded CEVA with a gold medal for achieving the highest accreditation in warehouse security. The result of the appraisal was unveiled earlier this year and CEVA made the prestigious top four for the most secured warehouse in 2008 with three other warehouse operators in different cargo zones. It is a great honour to the Air Freight Department as the gold medal places CEVA's PVG warehouse at the forefront of security for high value cargo shipments.
CEVA is an adamant supporter and practitioner of supply chain security. The company works to consistently ensure the delivery of a secure network, safe in-transit storage and warehousing to customers. This award reflects not only the achievement of Freight Security Requirements Class A (the highest) Certification renewed by Technology Asset Protection Association (TAPA) Asia in December 2008, but is also a positive result of security forums and activities that CEVA China actively supports.
The most recent event was the Shanghai Pudong Airport Police Division & TAPA Asia-hosted security workshop in Shanghai on 3rd July, with PSB, Customs, China Air Transport Association (CATA), major industries players (cargo owners), and other transport and logistics providers all participating. It was the kick off workshop after the formation of a new China Anti-Crime Task Force (CACTF).
Kenny Lee, Security Manager of CEVA Shanghai, participated in the workshop and said it was a great platform to share experiences and taking us a step further in making our visions for security a reality. Interaction and dialogue were keys to success in this workshop. "The world is constantly changing and security requirements are no exception. We have to provide our customers with the confidence that CEVA has established freight security requirements in place. In addition, we must keep our security expertise up-to-date and to join forces with local enforcement agencies in the fight against cargo crime in China," Lee said.
Bringing together like-minded security professionals, this workshop collected voices and opinions from various stakeholders as they collaborated on topics such as Pudong Airport Cargo Security Management Program, Introduction of CACTF-Securing the Supply Chain Environment, Importance of Security for Supply Chain, Elections of CACTF Steering Committee.
