Insurance

Insurance is an essential component for risk mitigation and predictability in international commodities operations.

Insurance as part of the operational structure

In international operations, insurance should be integrated from the outset into the operational, logistical, and contractual structure.

Operational integration

Insurance should reflect the product, the logistics mode, and the operational flow of the transaction.

Contractual alignment

Coverage should be aligned with the responsibilities defined in the contract and the Incoterms.

Risk mitigation

A proper assessment reduces unnecessary exposure and increases operational predictability.

Why insurance is often underestimated

Late assessment, when the structure of the operation is already defined and has limited flexibility.

Generic treatment of insurance as a cost, without a specific risk analysis.

Coverage gaps that only become apparent in adverse situations or loss events.

Commonly involved types of insurance

Cargo insurance

Coverage related to transportation, handling, and storage of the goods.

Credit insurance

Protection against default risks, according to the contractual structure.

Operational risks

Coverage associated with operational events specific to the logistics chain.

When insurance is assessed

Step 1

Definition of the product, market, and logistics structure.

Step 2

Identification of risks and contractual responsibilities.

Step 3

Definition of the required scope of coverage.

Step 4

Preliminary assessment of costs and feasibility.
