Fortifying Global Supply Chains Against Unpredictable Risks

Global supply chains are increasingly vulnerable to unpredictable weather events, geopolitical tensions, and complex multi-jurisdictional liabilities. Our client, a major international freight and maritime logistics operator, faced significant exposure due to outdated, fragmented policies that failed to adequately cover delayed cargo, modern piracy risks, and port blockages.

With vessels crossing high-risk zones and carrying millions in cargo per voyage, a single severe incident or prolonged delay had the potential to severely impact the client's balance sheet and damage hard-earned client relationships across Europe and Asia.

The Client's Objective

The client required a cohesive, end-to-end marine insurance program that could scale with their expanding fleet. They needed "all-risks" coverage for their physical vessels (Hull and Machinery), comprehensive transit protection for high-value goods (Cargo), and robust Business Interruption coverage to mitigate financial losses during unforeseen port delays, strikes, or route diversions.

Our Strategic Solution

JLT Insurance Group Holdings Limited’s Marine & Logistics division orchestrated a syndicated risk management program leveraging the capacity of the Lloyd's of London market. We designed a unified global policy that included specific provisions for war & piracy, environmental pollution liability, and parametric triggers for weather-related delays. This streamlined approach not only closed dangerous coverage gaps but also optimized the client's premium spend by bundling their fleet and cargo risks under one master master policy.
