Why Cargo Risk Management is Important
You probably practice some form of risk management on
site that is relatively easy to control because you are
monitoring processes and actions “first hand”. Once your
goods are on the move, as cargo, the risk management
process becomes more difficult for you to manage, yet
remains vital for the success of your business. Your
customers become involved and major contracts and
projects may depend upon ensuring smooth running,
loss-free deliveries.
A fundamental part of ACE’s Cargo Risk Management Program
is to undertake a review of your cargo operations. This
allows the identification of cargo risk elements
specific to your operation, and further identification
and agreement of positive viable actions which can be
taken to reduce preventable losses and improve the
marine and transit risk.
