At a governmental level, the Dutch House of Representatives has called upon Cora van Nieuwenhuizen, the country’s Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, to make land available for secure truck parking spaces in areas with known parking bottlenecks. The motion states: “The House of Representatives asks the government to examine, within the MIRT- programme corridor ALL ABOARD? 5

TLN believes that the government should encourage private initiatives to build and operate parking spaces. Not only along the main roads themselves, but also along roads that connect to the main roads. In this way, the public service places along the main roads are not overloaded.” Evidence of the positive impact of secure parking sites is, geographically, also not far away. On 18 January, the Dutch regional newspaper BN DeStem reported on the success of a new secure parking initiative on the Dutch/Belgian border crossing at Hazeldonk, an area that’s well-known as a regular hotspot for cargo crime. The border along the A16 highway is consistently in the ‘top 3’ parking areas in the Netherlands for criminal activity, the articled stated, quoting the 226 incidents that were reported there in 2016. Last October, a secure truck parking was commissioned in Hazeldonk and since then drivers have been able to park their vehicles safely behind a high fence equipped with an electric wire and guarded by a dozen cameras. The municipality of Breda also has a team of Special Investigation Offi cers patrolling the area and, the report continues, any driver found to have parked their car outside the guarded parking lot now faces an immediate fi ne of hundreds of euros. The result? Cargo crime incidents in Hazeldonk are said to have been halved.

In the Netherlands, the need for more secure truck parking is fi rmly on the political agenda as law enforcement and market intelligence points to the value of such initiatives. In Hazeldonk, a regular cargo crime 'hotspot', incidents have halved in the area since new secure parking places were launched last October.

Every new TAPA-approved secure parking location provides the potential to increase the risk for cargo thieves and lower the risk for the transport and logistics industry and its customers. Adopting PSR makes that possible.

This is tangible evidence that guarded truck planners to clearly identify the level of risk on drivers need to take their rest breaks in the parks can and do reduce the rate of cargo specific routes in Europe by showing incident area. TAPA members will know only too well, crime as opposed to trucks having to stop in data, and will also indicate the nearest parking however, that the threat of cargo crime won’t unprotected car parks along motorways, one locations that have met one or more of the have disappeared, it will simply have shifted to police officer is quoted as saying.

This reinforces TAPA EMEA’s message to PPOs about the value of providing TAPA-approved secure parking. Demand far outweighs the current level of availability across Europe, providing a significant money- making incentive for parking operators. The Association is also going to promote sites with PSR certification to its Manufacturer and Logistics Service Provider members via its new Secure Parking Online Tool. It will enable route ALL ABOARD? 7

On the night of 20/21 January, a semi-trailer loaded with nearly 34,000 litres of chemicals was stolen in Zedelgem in Belgium. Although the chemicals onboard the vehicle cannot be used as an explosive material, the incident provided another clear reminder of the types of thefts criminals are willing to commit. On another day, the outcome could have been far more devastating. TAPA’s PSR will not prevent every threat but it will reduce cargo crime. Its chances of success will undoubtedly be greater if TAPA members using parking sites in Europe decide to use their influence to persuade PPOs to operate PSR-approved sites.
