ACE International Cargo Risk Management
Whether you’re a small entrepreneur sending a truckload
of goods to the next town, or a large multinational
operation shipping worldwide, your reputation and
profitability depend upon the safe delivery of your
goods.
Cargo Risk Management provides professional solutions to
ensure that your goods are properly protected throughout
the complex and constantly changing modern
transportation chain.
ACE is an acknowledged leader in Cargo Risk Management,

This global expertise, coupled with a sustained
commitment to the provision of comprehensive, quality
marine cargo insurance programs, is ACE’s unique
approach.
The Cargo Risk Management Concept
The final stage in a successful business deal is safe
delivery to your customer. It is easy to believe that
arranging the transport and insurance cover ends your
responsibilities, but when things go wrong, you quickly
discover that the consequences still affect you. These
could range from damage to your reputation, a lost
opportunity in a new market, delays to the completion of
a project, or contractual liability for late delivery.
Cargo risk management is about applying the same
commercial sense of loss minimization you adopt on site,
to protecting your cargo in transit. Every shipment is
subject to different hazards depending on a number of
factors, including the nature of the cargo, destination,
mode of transportation and routing. At ACE, we strike a
sensible balance between loss prevention and an
insurance contract to help businesses succeed. This
philosophy ensures that all viable steps are taken to
reduce the risk before it causes a loss.
Between 70% and 80% of cargo losses could be avoided by
proper risk management, and our Master Mariners will
work with you and any intermediaries to identify,
understand and control the specific risk factors
relevant to your cargo. Of course, we provide the usual
comprehensive insurance cover for cargo risks, whether
preventable or not.
