Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders and terminal operators employ multimodal interchange cargo security solutions to prevent theft, tampering, and mislabeling when goods transfer between transport modes. These systems combine physical measures (secured transfer zones, personnel screening, seal management), technical monitoring (GPS, RFID, surveillance cameras), and documentary controls (handover protocols, digital gatekeeping). They are particularly critical for hazardous goods, valuables, and customs-controlled shipments where chain-of-custody integrity is audited.
