North East hazard detection business wins “major” UK logistics award

A North East hazard detection business has won a major UK logistics award following the success of its cargo screening tool.

Exis Technologies, based in Darlington, has won the Logistics Technology Provider of the Year category at the Logistics UK Awards.

The firm supplies systems for the management of dangerous goods in sea transport, working with companies around the world from its base in Darlington. The award win follows on from the success of its cargo screening tool, Hazcheck Detect, which is used by four major container lines including Maersk, ONE and Hapag Lloyd.

Mike Durkin, chief information officer said: “It feels great to be recognised for the work put in to provide fast, cost-effective and accessible cargo screening solutions for the shipping industry.

“Hazcheck Detect can be accepted by multiple competing carriers while offering the same technical solution, similar rules for cargo screening and similar outcomes regardless of the carrier.

“This is critically important to prevent misdeclared and undeclared cargo being cancelled and re-booked on alternate carriers.”

In the past ten years Exis has grown from 15 to 26 members of staff and this year is celebrating its 35th anniversary of creating global solutions for compliance, efficiency and safety in the shipment of dangerous goods by sea.
