Beyond the Gate: How Ava Is Eliminating Cargo Loss in High-Traffic Port Zones
In today’s global supply chain, high-traffic zones like major airports and seaports face daily challenges in safeguarding high-value cargo. With the increased risk of theft, organised crime and logistical errors, these complex environments are a focal point for security concerns in the logistics industry.
Ava has developed a robust, secure approach to logistics tailored to address these risks directly. We are redefining secure logistics — ensuring each shipment navigates even the most high-risk zones with minimal risk and maximum care.
How Does Cargo Loss Happens at High-Traffic Port Zones?
Across this industry, many losses occur at airports. In high-traffic zones, such as airports and seaports, high-value goods are at increased risk and there are more challenges for logistics companies to manage.
Reasons for this include:
- Theft
- Organised crime
- Limited surveillance coverage
- Lack of standardised security protocols
- Lack of collaboration
- Poor cybersecurity
- Complex documentation
- Limited law enforcement
- High volume
Ava works hard to combat these potential problems, developing comprehensive strategies to mitigate risk and protect high-value cargo.
How Ava mitigates risks in high-traffic port zones
Ava offers every client a bespoke service which helps us ensure secure transit through high-risk zones. Each shipment is overseen by your dedicated Account Manager and supported by our in-house Risk Management Team.
The Team audits ALL airports and ports in person and conducts regular reviews to establish risk ratings. These allow us to identify higher risk zones that require additional auditing and monitoring. We also securely escort and monitor your cargo through ALL transit hubs.
The Risk Management Team’s attention to detail and comprehensive approach are priceless when developing our detailed contingency plans for every shipment. This means that, if something were to go wrong, we are already prepared to manage the shipment in an alternative way, whilst maintaining our unparalleled level of security.
We are proud to always go the extra mile to give our clients peace of mind.

Insurance
Transparency with the insurance underwriting market is essential for managing risk and reducing cargo loss in busy international transit hubs. By sharing our detailed risk assessments, security protocols and shipment data, our insurers can provide coverage that aligns with the specific challenges of high-traffic zones.
This transparency fosters trust, leading to proactive support for loss prevention measures, streamlined claims processing and – in the case of incidents – faster recovery times. These practices not only minimise potential losses but also help to set a higher standard for accountability and security in global logistics.
