Logistics Business Conversations

Cargo theft and freight fraud are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with organised criminals using digital tools and AI to exploit vulnerabilities across the supply chain.

In this episode of Logistics Business Conversations, Peter MacLeod is joined by Ewa Węgorkiewicz from Trans.eu to explore how freight crime is evolving and what the industry can do to stay ahead.

They discuss corporate identity hijacking, fraudulent carriers and the growing role of AI on both sides of the fight against cargo theft. Ewa also explains why continuous digital verification is becoming essential and how Trans.eu's partnership with TAPA (Transported Asset Protection Association) is helping create trusted networks for high-value freight.

The conversation explores TAPA's security standards, the launch of a dedicated Trusted Carrier Exchange, and why security and verified trust could become a genuine competitive advantage for carriers.

Listen now to discover how technology is changing the fight against freight crime – and what secure freight networks could look like in the years ahead.

The race to decarbonise logistics is gathering pace—but can ports become one of the industry's biggest catalysts for change?

In this episode of Logistics Business Conversations, we speak with John Trenchard, Vice President of Sustainable International Supply Chains Europe at DP World, to explore how innovative port incentives, carbon inset programmes and low-carbon transport initiatives are helping reduce emissions across the supply chain.

From shifting freight from road to rail and rewarding cleaner transport choices, to trialling electric trucks, HVO fuel and carbon accounting for Scope 3 emissions, John explains how practical incentives are encouraging businesses to embrace more sustainable logistics without compromising efficiency.

We also discuss why collaboration across ports, carriers and cargo owners is essential, how carbon inset credits are changing the way companies measure supply chain emissions, and why progress—not perfection—is the key to achieving meaningful decarbonisation.

If you're interested in sustainable logistics, freight transport, carbon reduction or the future of greener supply chains, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
