Topics of Discussion
With the growing complexities in logistics and supply chain management, our Risk Management Team aims to help our clients understand the financial and physical risks associated with shipping, as well as identify pain points and the steps that can be taken
to mitigate risk. Understanding your specific risks will help improve the flow of your
supply chain, reduce waste, save money and time.
We will cover the following:
- Market Disruptions - From trade wars to cyber exposure, ships on fire to port congestion,
get an in-depth perspective on how current world events impact the risk to your supply chain. - Cargo Movement - How does your cargo really get from Origin to Destination? This topic
examines how many parties actually touch your cargo on its international journey and the
multiple risks it is exposed to. - Incoterms® 2020 - Changes to Incoterms® will be announced in September 2020. We will
provide a brief overview of Incoterms® and their proposed changes. - Cargo Insurance - Why does cargo insurance exist and what does it cover? We will explore International freight carriers limitations of liability and explain when carriers are liable for lost
or damaged cargo. We will also show how cargo insurance fills the void left by freight carrier liability and discuss if your current coverage is adequate. - IoT and Sensor Based Logistics - See the newest tools and technology providing real time
visibility to your cargo in motion. These tools allow for exception management and provide
the ability to prevent or reduce losses that were previously unavoidable.
