is a set of measures aimed at ensuring the safety of cargo, controlling its movement and monitoring all stages of delivery.
This is an important part of logistics, especially for valuable, dangerous, perishable or oversized cargo.
Escort can be carried out both on domestic routes and within international transportation.
1. Physical cargo escort:o Security guard: In the case of transporting expensive or valuable cargo, such as jewelry, money or other expensive items, cargo escort by security companies is often used. The guards may be armed and take responsibility for security.o Convoys (mobile escorts): The cargo may be accompanied by several vehicles, which creates an additional level of security, especially in dangerous areas or countries with a high level of crime.2. Electronic escort:o GPS monitoring: GPS systems are used to constantly monitor the location of the cargo and determine its movement in real time. This allows you to control the route, respond in a timely manner to possible changes in the road (traffic jams, accidents, change of direction, etc.).o Intelligent temperature control systems: For goods that require temperature control (e.g. food, medicines), special temperature monitoring is used, which allows you to track the condition of the cargo along the entire route.3. Documentary support:o Accompanying documents: All cargo, especially international cargo, must have appropriate documents that certify its legality, origin, as well as transportation permits (licenses, certificates, customs documents).o Customs declarations and inspections: Cargo may require customs support if it concerns international transportation, especially when crossing a border where the cargo must be inspected by customs authorities.4. Technical support:o Mechanical support: For heavy or oversized cargo, specialized machines (e.g. cranes, platforms, trawls) may be involved to assist with the transportation and unloading of goods during the transportation stages.o Specialist experts: For certain types of cargo, especially dangerous or chemical substances, specialists may be involved to supervise the transportation.5. Legal support:o Legal control: The support of goods may also include legal support, for example, when there are questions about liability for damage or lost goods. In such cases, legal support is provided to resolve disputes.o Documents for international transport: Preparation and execution of the necessary certificates and permits for the transport of goods across borders.
