HONG Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has achieved certification under IATA CEIV Live Animals, making it one of the first companies to have achieved all three CEIV standards.
IATA CEIV Live Animals is a voluntary programme designed to improve competency, infrastructure and equipment, quality management and training for the handling and transportation of live animals by air. Achieving and maintaining certification involves training, assessment and validation; re-validation audits are conducted every three years.
In preparation for auditing, Hactl's quality assurance auditors and trainers attended IATA's 3-day "Live Animals Cargo Logistics Management" course.
Hactl also modified its audit checklists and training materials to comply with the new, higher standards. Its Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were reviewed and revised after detailed internal discussion with its operations teams and other supporting departments. Finally, numerous training and briefing sessions were held to ensure all relevant staff were aware of every change.
The process of applying for formal accreditation led to the creation of the company's "Paws Track" which includes six Critical Control Points (CCPs): the Live Animals Inspection Area; South Live Animals Handling Centre; North Live Animals Handling Centre; Horse Handling Centre 1; Horse Handling Centre 2; and its Live Animals Containers.
Chief executive Wilson Kwong said: "We are honoured that Hactl is one of the first in the world to obtain all three IATA CEIV certifications. This recognition by such a respected external party is the best possible evidence of service quality, inspiring even greater confidence in shipping live animals through Hactl.
"People love their animals, and rightly have the highest expectations about how they should travel. Hactl's live animals handling is about providing the best possible welfare for the animals; and it's also about providing peace of mind to their owners."
