Transportation
Involving the movement of property or people by water, road, rail and air.
Transportation involves the movement of property or people by water, road, rail, air and pipeline, and is vital to the economic development of a country. Increased globalization has increased demand for transport. At the same time, transport has become more complex, with new risks emerging continually.
We’ve come a long way since horse-drawn carriages, and the evolution of transport has brought us faster, more efficient methods of moving cargo, and ourselves, around. In the last 150 years, we have witnessed the introduction of transcontinental railways, containerized ships, the invention of the airplane, and mass production of automobiles and trucks.

Target
We focus on several facets of the transportation industry:
Logistics — companies that facilitate the movement of property/people – forwarders, custom brokers, terminals/depots, warehousemen, stevedores, couriers, packers, exhibitions, projects.
Cargo owners — companies that engage in the trade of goods such as manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors.
Operators — companies/people that own and/or operate modes of transport – marine (offshore supply, tug & barge, work boats, ferries, tour boats, fishing vessels, builder’s risk, pleasure-craft), railways (short haul, mainline, transit), road (motor truck, van lines, trailers, local, long haul, garage keepers, logging, contractors), air (scheduled, non-scheduled, private, and special).
Service Providers — companies that support the transport of property/people – repairers, builders, maintenance, contractors, brokers, agents, consultants, architects, engineers.
An aging transportation infrastructure creates new challenges in the transportation industry. Proper risk management and insurance are key to protect your client’s business.
