Gary Smith Transport’s Border Force Approval Secured By App

A haulier has secured accreditation under Border Force’s clandestine entrant civil penalty scheme, citing an app as crucial to its success, writes Chris Tindall.

Gary Smith Transport, operating from Aberdeen, was able to demonstrate its commitment to vehicle security, regulatory compliance and best practice in preventing stowaways from boarding its lorries.

It uses the Aquarius Clandestine Check app, which digitises Border Force’s checklist and can be customised to meet the specific needs of different fleet vehicles.
