Our Commitment to Security
Security Policy
Never before have shippers been faced with such challenges as they attempt to meet the ever increasing security requirements of countries around the world. Increased supply chain security measures result in a range of higher costs, increased paperwork and the possibility of bottlenecks and delays. In this environment, only an adept and comprehensive logistics partner such as OOCL Logistics can help you.

Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) is a voluntary program designed to enhance the security of the international supply chain and facilitate legitimate trade. AEO status may be granted to economic operators involved in the international supply chain that demonstrate a high level of customs compliance, effective record-keeping and internal controls, financial solvency, and appropriate security and safety standards.
Certified operators may benefit from various customs simplifications, reduced inspections, priority treatment, and other trade facilitation measures, subject to the rules and benefits applicable in the respective customs jurisdiction. In some cases, additional benefits may be available through Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) between customs authorities.

Partners in Protection (PIP)
OOCL Logistics was certified as a PIP logistics service provider in September 2012, Certificate No.: 12090. Partners in Protection (PIP) is a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) program that enlists the cooperation of private industry to enhance border and trade chain security, combat organised crime and terrorism and help detect and prevent contraband smuggling.
It is a voluntary program with no membership fee that aims to secure the trade chain, one partnership at a time. PIP members agree to implement and adhere to high security standards while the CBSA agrees to assess their security measures, provide information sessions on security issues and offer other benefits. Member companies are recognised as being trusted traders, which allows the CBSA to focus its resources on areas of higher or unknown risk.
Through their partnership with the CBSA, PIP members contribute to the security of the supply chain and the facilitation of legitimate trade.
