Container seal

A container seal is a numbered, tamper-evident device that secures the lock of a shipping container to protect its contents from theft and unauthorized access. It's a critical part of logistics, providing proof of integrity, with each seal having a unique number that is recorded on shipping documents for tracking and verification. When the seal is broken, it's a clear indication that the container has been opened, allowing for claims of tampering, theft, or damage.

Key functions of a container seal

Security:
Prevents criminals from planting contraband or stealing goods from within the container.
Tamper evidence:
Acts as a physical indicator that the container has been opened during transit. If the seal is broken upon arrival, it's a sign of potential tampering.
Proof of integrity:
Provides proof that the container has not been opened, which is crucial for insurance claims if damage or theft occurs.
Tracking and accountability:
The unique seal number is recorded on shipping documents, allowing for tracking and verifying that the correct seal is on the container throughout its journey.

Types of container seals

Cable seals:
Versatile seals with a wire that can be adjusted to different lengths and are often used for a variety of applications, including odd shapes.
Bolt seals:
Heavy-duty seals that are designed to be strong and secure, requiring bolt cutters to remove.
Electronic seals:
Advanced seals that may include GPS tracking or other features for enhanced visibility and security.
Indicative seals:
Designed to show evidence of tampering, but may not be as robust as preventative seals.

How it works

After loading the container, a seal is attached to the lock mechanism.
The unique seal number is recorded on the bill of lading and other shipping documents.
Throughout the journey, the seal remains intact, guaranteeing the security of the cargo.
Upon arrival, the seal's condition is checked against the record. If the seal is unbroken, the container can be opened safely.
If the seal is broken, it indicates that the container was tampered with, and the recipient can then use this as evidence for reporting the incident.
