Digital Freight Security
Improving risking systems for the efficiency of cross-border freight transport
Enabling trade depends on smooth freight transit between customs territories
Following the UK's exit from the EU, an important physical change is the introduction of customs controls on goods from EU passing through major UK ports, as well as the customs border on the Irish Sea. The UK has established customs clearance sites with capacity to accommodate these controls inland from the major ports. This has increased the potential to create additional journeys and negative economic, environmental, and social impacts.
Journey data benefits better risking systems
Smooth border transit improves efficiency for authorities, ports, shippers, and carriers
Border crossing obstacles
Our Freight-Secure solution provides a connected security system that links with customs information for unitised freight, to enable customs clearance at any point on the journey from departure to destination; and eliminates additional journeys to inland sites. The solution includes a digital customs seal and mobile device app, with interfaces to customs declaration systems, such as required by UK’s HMRC.
Digital customs seal provides additional security
Live journey tracking provides additional data
Geospatial pattern analysis provides risk identification
Automated alerts provide all stakeholders with up-to-date status
The Secure Border-Ready Freight project was fully funded by Department for Transport’s T-TRIG 2020 programme, which supports early-stage research into innovative ideas or concepts that facilitate a better transport system.
