Israel: We have the World’s First Affordable Total Protection Solution for Shipping Containers say Israeli firm Loginno.
According to Israeli firm Loginno “the container shipping industry has been searching for a fool proof container security system to match the demands of high value cargo shippers and national security agencies without finding the complete solution.”
They continue that progress has been stifled by a lack of sufficient technology:
“Existing technology is not all-encompassing and one cannot expect thieves to be highly discouraged to steal cargo […] Companies have been focused on creating GPS devices which sit on the container’s door. They are very visible and ineffective as anyone can (and some do) cut a hole in the thin side of the container without opening the door, undetected by the device.”
However it seems there is no a thief proof container available. Developed by Loginet Systems, a creative Israeli Military Systems developer, this new “patent pending solution of affordable total protection” for shipping containers and air shipments is said to be “the only portable & invisible device in the world with six sided intrusion detection and global location.”
According to Loginno, that have produced what custmers want:
“A small and portable device, [that is] very rugged and reliable but cheap, to protect all 6 sides of the container, to be completely invisible and undetected, and on top of all it […] intelligent enough to accurately detect difficult environmental variables.”
The Loginno website issues this challenge for the above picture:
“Can you spot Loginno’s device on the container?“

Containers and the growth of world trade
I read this post today by thenextwave (Containers and the Growth of World Trade), and even though the post itself almost six years old (posted in September 2007) its approach continues to be extremely relevant.
I really enjoy the take of this post – The often disregarded shipping container, is in itself an incredible piece of material culture, that as thenextwave demonstrates…. is not only deserving of recognition on any blog, it facilitates trade… Lots of it.
