REPORT OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF MARINE INSURANCE IN BERLIN, AT WHICH THE NEED FOR STRICT SECURITY MEASURES TO PREVENT THE HIJACKING OF TRUCKS WAS DISCUSSED.
Abstract
IT IS STATED THAT MANY INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE INTRODUCED SPECIAL CLAUSES IN THEIR POLICIES WHICH MAKE ANTI-THEFT DEVICES IN TRUCKS DESIRABLE, OR IN MANY CASES MANDATORY. SUGGESTED METHODS FOR REDUCING LOSSES DUE TO THE HIJACKING OF TRUCKS INCLUDE COMPULSORY ADOPTION OF TRIP-RECORDERS OR TACHOGRAPHS, THE INTRODUCTION OF COMPULSORY TRUCK ROUTES, AND A CENTRAL INDEX LISTING TRUCK REGISTRATION NUMBERS, DRIVERS NAMES, AND TYPES OF CARGO BEING CARRIED.
