✔
Cargo theft has hit nearly half of respondents in just the past year. 47% report being impacted within the last 12 months, showing this isn't a distant or occasional risk but an active, ongoing threat.
✔
Over 7 in 10 properties have experienced cargo theft at some point. Combining the "within the last 12 months" (47%) and "more than a year ago" (24%) groups, 71% of respondents have dealt with a cargo theft incident.
✔
Recent incidents outweigh older ones by a wide margin. The 47% reporting theft in the last 12 months is nearly double the 24% reporting an incident further in the past, suggesting the problem may be intensifying rather than leveling off.
✔
Less than a third have never been impacted. Only 29% reported no cargo theft history, meaning the majority of respondents are operating with direct, firsthand exposure to the issue.
✔
Recency signals an active, not historical, problem. With the largest share of incidents concentrated in the most recent 12-month window, cargo theft reads as a current operational risk rather than a legacy concern.
Summary: The majority of respondents have experienced cargo theft, and for nearly half, it happened within just the last year. This points to cargo theft as an active, escalating risk rather than an isolated event, reinforcing the need for real-time crime deterrence at the yard.
AI video surveillance, cloud-based surveillance, and
remote guarding give security teams the real-time visibility and AI analytics needed to catch and stop incidents before cargo disappears.
