And what’s being smuggled in cargoes? Many of the goods stolen from cargo containers and trailers are then smuggled out of the country. Also, illegal drugs are often smuggled into the country concealed within imported cargoes. Terrorist operatives have also attempted to smuggle themselves in cargo containers. And then the unimaginable, a WMD smuggled into the country disguised as legitimate cargo and detonated. No one can predict the cost of a WMD attack but it would certainly cost the global economy trillions of dollars. By employing TrakLok’s patented technology in a multi-layered security approach, cargoes can be better protected against smuggling than ever before.

In addition to providing better physical security than any other tracking solution on the market, data generated by the GeoLoKTM will be accessible through TrakLogTM. This information can be used in Transportation Management Systems to increase efficiency in shipping and supply chains. The GeoLokTM provides information on idle containers that can put into use, if a shipment is ahead or behind schedule, if a driver has deviated from course or if a shipment needs to be triaged and unloaded quickly. It also can give information on the condition of the shipment itself by communicating with sensors that detect temperature, humidity, light, even spoilage.

TrakLok Corporation, which owns the intellectual property for the GeoLokTM container locking solution, has integrated several wireless technologies to track containers globally, and has developed its own web accessible information-technology based global tracking system. The information provided by the GeoLokTM is accessible through TrakLogTM where users can obtain the location and condition information of a given container from any computer or web enabled device. TrakLogTM alleviates in a holistic fashion problems for companies managing containers in the supply chain including:
• Asset visibility. Where is my leased or owned container now?
• Condition monitoring. How is my container now?
• Security/stop loss. Has my container been tampered with?
• Asset utilization. When can I return my container to duty?
• Predictive maintenance of assets. When is my next required maintenance?
The unique innovation of the TrakLok system will initiate a paradigm shift in how intermodal shipping containers are tracked, monitored, utilized and secured. For more information contact:

St. Louis, MO, June 05, 2009 — Seaplanes, flying boats or float planes, no matter the type of plane, any aircraft that takes off or lands in the water can be difficult to insure. With a limited number of carriers underwriting seaplanes, it can be challenging for individuals to find a company who will insure their specific seaplane risk. Travers represents the entire aviation marketplace and therefore can provide all types of seaplane insurance.

“Our founder and my grandfather, Bob Travers, started flying seaplanes in the early 1930s and in WWII he became the captain of the PBY Catalina Flying Boat,” said Chris Travers, Sales Manager at Travers and Associates. “His passion for this type of aircraft has always been evident. We grew up hearing stories about his flying excursions, as he would show off his model PBY aircraft. My grandfather knew firsthand the importance of proper seaplane insurance. He also knew how difficult it was to find a good policy. Because of his dedication to this niche area of the aviation insurance industry, Travers and Associates can insure every type of seaplane with extremely competitive policies.”

Today, Travers and Associates are long term Seaplane Pilots Association members. The company insures a significant amount of the seaplanes in America and as a result, has outstanding long term relationships with all the underwriters that will take on seaplane risk.

“When it comes to seaplane insurance, many underwriters only cover one type of plane,” said Chris Travers. “Because of our long history delivering exceptional seaplane insurance, we are able to find policies that meet our customer’s needs at an extremely competitive rate.”

Travers and Associates can insure almost any seaplane risk and pilot combination from experimental float aircraft to the most standard seaplane, flown by student pilots to high time airline pilots. Whether a commercial seaplane operator, a seasoned seaplane private pilot, a pilot transitioning into a seaplane or a student pilot starting training in a seaplane, Travers can professionally meet almost any insurance need with one of its many outstanding premier insurance companies.

About Travers and Associates
St. Louis-based Travers and Associates was founded by WWII Navy pilot, Captain Bob Travers. Now including three generations of the Travers family, Travers and Associates provides superior coverage in the aviation insurance industry. Specializing in private aircraft insurance, corporate aircraft insurance, commercial aviation insurance and life insurance for pilots, the Travers team can customize a plan to meet any pilot or company’s needs.
