Importance of Cargo Risk Management

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.

Our team of Master Mariners is available to work closely with you and your intermediaries on specific terms such as:

	Types of packing
