I work for the port
You have access to restricted areas and sensitive information. And that’s exactly what criminals are after.
Do you recognise these warning signs?
Someone is in an area restricted to authorised personnel only, with no clear reason or escort. Think of people loitering near quaysides, terminals, loading areas, or access doors.
Someone asks about sailing schedules, container locations, security procedures, or access passes, information that has nothing to do with their job. Criminals often start by gathering information.
A person approaches you with compliments, gifts, money, or “small favours”. This can be the first step in making you dependent on them or putting you under pressure.
A container that has been moved without explanation, a seal that looks damaged, or cargo that doesn’t match the paperwork. Minor discrepancies can point to manipulation.
Cars parked nearby more often than seems usual, people photographing operations, or someone tracking your movements. Criminals prepare by gathering information.
Sudden secrecy, unusual working hours, signs of stress, or apparent outside influence. Sometimes colleagues are being pressured themselves.
Loose luggage, parcels, or objects left in unusual places, especially near containers, loading areas, or access points.
Someone wants to use your badge, “just needs a quick look inside”, or asks you to open a door. Criminals frequently try to gain access to restricted zones.
Messages from unknown numbers, proposals to meet outside working hours, or someone pushing to communicate via private channels.
Movement when no operations are planned, vehicles driving around at unusual times, or people hiding in cargo.
