You live in a world where supply chains can change fast. Recent events show how things can be very unpredictable:

• About 30% of global container trade was hurt by the Red Sea crisis.
• Up to 80% of vessels changed routes in December 2023.
• Shipping trips now take 1-2 weeks longer as ships go around Africa.
• U.S. West Coast shipping prices have gone up because of these changes.
• China’s export rush before the New Year holiday makes things even harder.

Traditional insurance models cannot keep up with these new risks. Recent industry reports say that as companies use more technology and face threats like cyberattacks or contract failures, old insurance solutions cannot give the right coverage. You need Modern Insurance that can handle today’s problems. PT5 Global’s Cross-Border Logistics Insurance gives you a smarter way to protect your business from sudden problems.

Supply Chain Risks Today

Global Disruptions

There are many risks in global supply chains now. Big events like the Red Sea crisis, wildfires in Canada, and floods in Dubai have caused long delays. Ships must take longer trips. Sometimes, ports close without warning. Economic problems make things harder. More than half of top economists think the world economy will get weaker next year. Political problems can cause new rules, trade limits, and fast changes in shipping prices.

Cyber-attacks are also a big risk. One outage made Fortune 500 companies lose over $5 billion. Political trouble can stop factories and break important buildings. Companies often change shipping routes or where they get goods to keep things moving. You need to act fast and be flexible to handle these problems. Modern Insurance helps by giving coverage that changes with new risks.

Seasonal Surges

Certain times of year make supply chains even busier. During holidays, people buy much more, sometimes 30-40% more. Back-to-school time and special sales also make orders go up. If you do not guess trends well, you might buy too much or run out of popular things. If your supply chain cannot change quickly, you may have delays and higher storage costs.

• Bad guesses cause problems.
• Too much stock wastes money.
• Not enough stock upsets customers.
• Delays hurt your business name.
• High handling costs mean less profit.

You need to see where shipments are and change plans fast. Companies that match supply chain speed with what customers want can grow three times faster. Modern Insurance helps protect your business during busy times and helps you react to sudden changes.

Traditional Insurance Gaps

Limited Coverage

Traditional insurance does not cover every risk today. Many people think their policy protects them from all problems. But they often find out too late that it does not. Most cargo policies only help if goods are damaged or lost while moving. They usually do not help if something happens during storage or handling. If a cyberattack or port closure stops your shipment, you might not get help.

Only 31% of groups feel they really control supply chain risks. Many think they are safe, but the facts show they are not.

You need more than just protection from damage. Modern supply chains face new threats like cyberattacks, data mistakes, and sudden rule changes. For example, Jaguar Land Rover had a ransomware attack. Their insurance did not pay for the losses. The company lost about £50 million each week. This shows how big the gap can be. Now, many businesses want insurance that covers all kinds of problems, not just the usual ones.

• Traditional policies often miss:
  • Storage and handling risks
  • Cyberattacks and data breaches
  • Business interruptions from port closures
  • Losses from sudden rule changes

Slow Claims

When things go wrong, you want your claim paid fast. Traditional insurance often makes you wait a long time. It can take 22 to 34 days to get your claim handled. This slow process can hurt your business. You may need to replace goods or pay bills quickly.

Insurers using new technology can pay claims 30% faster. They can also lower costs by 20%. Modern Insurance gives you money quicker and lets you see what is happening. You always know where your claim is, so you can plan what to do next.
