Related FAQs

How can logistics companies manage risks beyond insurance coverage?

While insurance is crucial, risk management should be proactive and multifaceted. Key strategies include:

  • Robust contracts with clearly defined liability clauses.

  • Use of technology for real-time tracking, predictive maintenance, and route optimisation.

  • Staff training in safety protocols and compliance.

  • Regular audits of operations, safety practices, and security protocols.

  • Business continuity planning is used to handle disruptions like strikes, cyber-attacks, or natural disasters.

Several factors can affect premiums and coverage availability, such as:

  • Type and value of cargo transported.

  • Geographic regions and routes used (e.g., high-risk countries or piracy zones).

  • Claims history and past incidents.

  • Fleet size, age, and maintenance history.

  • Security measures in place (e.g., GPS tracking, driver vetting, warehouse security).

Proactively managing these elements can help reduce insurance costs and improve coverage terms.
