Is your client’s cargo programme fit for today’s volatile trade routes?
Global trade has always carried risk. But in today’s environment – where geopolitical tensions, armed conflict, and political unrest overlap with supply chain challenges – traditional approaches to insuring cargo are no longer enough.
That’s why our team takes a holistic approach – building a plan that sees our clients cargo risks from every angle.
We look at clients’ cargo, war, and political risks together
In the past, it was common to treat marine cargo risks, land-based war risks, and political violence as separate categories. But reality has changed. Shipments can face threats in port, at sea, in storage, and even in the digital sphere – often from the same conflict or incident.
Clients need holistic cover that follows their goods wherever exposures arise. That means solutions that span cargo, war, strikes, riots, civil commotion (SRCC), political violence, and confiscation, all the way from the moment they acquire an insurable interest until that interest ends.
Sometimes the solution is straightforward (end-to-end cargo + war + political violence and terrorism). And sometimes it’s more sophisticated – blending market appetite with risk layering strategies. In every case, the goal is the same: prevent coverage failures before they happen.
How we can help you and your clients
The takeaway is clear: cargo risks are no longer neatly segmented. Exposures cut across categories, markets are more selective, and pricing can shift overnight.
Our Cargo team helps clients navigate this complexity by:
- Designing holistic programmes that close gaps and follow exposures end-to-end.
- Applying market insight to help anticipate shifts in appetite and pricing.
- Using our global experts and deeply connected culture to connect clients with the right expertise, whatever the challenge.
