Providing access to the leading motor vehicle insurers in Australia

The challenge of running a motor fleet – whether it’s half a dozen cars or several hundred vehicles – against a backdrop of rising costs, the impact of technology such as telematics, means effective fleet risk management is about far more than simply securing the lowest insurance premium.

Motor Vehicle Insurance can take several forms, from comprehensive cover to third party property damage or compulsory third party cover. We can look after everything from your private vehicle, small commercial fleet, or extensive fleet management. At Lockton we have access to the leading motor vehicle insurers in Australia and can tailor a solution to your fleets needs. 

A three-stage process to lower your cost of risk

We have developed a unique and strategic approach to motor risk management which takes in three distinct stages to reduce total cost of risk; assessment, design and implementation. Starting from a comprehensive review of your current fleet risk management including an analysis of historical claims and peer benchmarking, we will work with you to create a plan to deliver improvements in accident frequency, claims costs and operational efficiency. We will then implement a solution which aims to deliver the lowest total cost of risk by driving and controlling all insurance market negotiations from program design including various structures to suit your risk appetite such as Aggregate Deductibles or Burning Cost methods, to risk premium - then presenting your risk profile and risk improvement plan to the insurers we have identified as the most appropriate for your fleet - as well as claims management.

Rising Professional Indemnity (PI) claims highlight a pressing vulnerability: poor due diligence during vendor onboarding. Without consistent oversight, this gap continues to expose businesses to significant risk. This can also be exacerbated by lack of ongoing reviews. Risk is now front and centre in a world defined by global volatility, complex supply chains, stringent regulations, and the growing impact of US tariffs on Australian businesses. This one PI insight presents business leaders with a clear opportunity to control and mitigate their risk. Poor due diligence can increase your organisation's potential PI exposure, the consequences of which can be costly. From reputational damage, financial and operational costs, and even legal expenses.

Cyber-physical risk in the marine sector: a wake-up call from the MSC Antonia

The recent grounding of the MSC Antonia near the Eliza Shoals off Jeddah on 10 May 2025 has brought into sharp focus the real-world consequences of cyber-physical attacks in the maritime sector – and particularly within the MENA region. Analysis by respected maritime intelligence firms such as Pole Star Global and Windward indicate that the vessel's navigational systems were likely compromised by GPS jamming, leading to incorrect positioning data and ultimately to the grounding incident. This event underscores the growing cyber threat to vessel movement in the region – one with potential outcomes including groundings, collisions, and environmental harm. For MENA, where critical trade routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal are lifelines of global commerce, the implications are particularly serious. Regional security dynamics, increased reliance on digital systems, and proximity to cyber-capable nation-state actors elevate both the frequency and severity of these risks. Despite this, in our work with marine clients across the Middle East and North Africa, we continue to observe a significant disconnect between emerging cyber threats and existing risk transfer arrangements. That gap must close before the next incident occurs.

Balance Sheet Protection: Specialised D&O Insurance Solutions

Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance should not be treated as a routine procurement exercise. As a non-prescribed class of insurance, D&O policies are not subject to minimum coverage standards. In today’s soft insurance market, this means insurers can significantly dilute policy terms to maintain premium competitiveness, potentially leaving critical gaps in protection.Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance should not be treated as a routine procurement exercise.

Ensuring the right cargo cover amid tariff uncertainty

The recent US import tariff changes have created significant trade disruption in the cargo market: goods were expedited prior to expected tariff increases, or after the announcement, diverted to other destinations, or held in storage awaiting improved tariff conditions.The recent US import tariff changes have created significant trade disruption in the cargo market: goods were expedited prior to expected tariff increases, or after the announcement, diverted to other destinations, or held in storage awaiting improved tariff conditions.
