Global supply chain risks pose a significant challenge for the insurance industry. The main problem arises when supplier insurance does not cover intangible damages in the event of an operational interruption. In practice, this means, for example, that delays in shipping are not insured. It is often necessary to find a solution that is accessible and acts as a preventative measure against such events.

Supply Chain Risks

Following the most common business threat, ransomware cyberattacks, supply chain issues are a close second. Geopolitical uncertainties and general cost increases then follow. To manage such situations within your company, a combination of comprehensive insurance and active risk management is essential. However, challenges often arise beyond the scope of your company and primary supplier. A problem could originate with a sub-supplier of your primary supplier. This very common scenario can disrupt the chain of processes and even lead to operational interruptions due to a lack of production materials.

A recent example is the damage incurred by Ukrainian ports and ships. This situation increases risks in global goods transportation, and this reality can significantly disrupt companies' customer and supplier chains.
