EMEA 2025 Annual Cargo Theft Report

Cargo theft in the EMEA region is a fast-evolving and deeply underreported risk, driven by a lack of reliable data and the growing sophistication of criminal tactics. Most European countries do not maintain dedicated, official cargo theft statistics, and industry reporting varies widely. As a result, cargo theft losses remain largely unquantified, further complicating risk management efforts.

In this challenging landscape, cargo criminals are adapting with alarming speed, targeting high-value shipments and employing tactics such as fraudulent carrier theft. In Overhaul’s inaugural EMEA cargo theft report, we address these urgent challenges by providing actionable intelligence, industry-specific insights, and practical recommendations for securing your shipments. We also highlight evolving threats related to unsecured parking pilferages, rolling thefts, and more.
