Navigating Risk: The High-Stakes Security of Semiconductor Air Freight
The global semiconductor supply chain faces significant security challenges due to the high value and fragility of its cargo. Geopolitical efforts like the US CHIPS Act are reshaping manufacturing locations, but transport logistics remain a critical point of vulnerability. In response, freight forwarders are implementing advanced security protocols, including dedicated control towers, GPS tracking, and certified secure warehouses. These measures are essential to protect the vital components from theft and damage as they move through the complex global network.
