The security of cargo shipments is paramount in any world of shipping and that’s why Afrishipping, under the visionary leadership of CEO Oke Omolade Samuel, has undertaken a commendable mission to enhance security measures and reduce cargo theft in Nigerian shipping operations. Samuel’s mission which is to secure and protect African businesses has set out with Afrisshiping.
Cargo theft has been a persistent issue in Nigerian shipping, resulting in economic losses and security concerns. CEO Samuel acknowledges the gravity of this challenge. “Cargo theft is a threat that we take seriously,” he states. “It not only affects our business but also the trust of our clients.”
Afrishipping has been at the forefront of adopting cutting-edge security technologies to safeguard cargo. Afrishipping is known for shipping businesses in order to enable growth. There can not be growth when there are losses of goods and properties during shipping. Samuel points out, “We’ve incorporated advanced tracking systems and surveillance cameras on our vessels. This technology allows us to monitor and respond swiftly to any suspicious activity.” By embracing these innovations, Afrishipping has significantly reduced incidents of cargo theft. “We make all shipping services available after proper onboarding while invoices are sent at the end of each month,” Samuel states.
Samuel emphasizes the importance of collaboration in combatting cargo theft. “We’ve forged strong partnerships with local authorities and law enforcement agencies,” he explains. “This collaboration ensures a coordinated response to security threats.” The company’s proactive engagement with the broader security ecosystem has yielded positive results.
Afrishipping recognizes that a well-trained crew is the first line of defense against cargo theft. Samuel underscores the significance of ongoing training for the company’s staff. “Our crew members undergo rigorous security training to identify and respond to potential threats,” he says. This commitment to human resources has proven effective in reducing vulnerabilities.
In a bid to build trust and transparency, Afrishipping provides clients with detailed security reports for their shipments. Samuel believes this transparency is vital. “Our clients deserve to know that their cargo is in safe hands. By offering transparency in our security practices, we demonstrate our commitment to their peace of mind.”
