Definition & Explanation

Freight forwarders and insurance brokers perform insurance coverage analysis to identify and assess risks within the supply chain. The process examines which hazards—such as damage, theft, liability, or natural disasters—are relevant to specific shipments, then aligns existing or required coverage accordingly. The goal is to close protection gaps and avoid over-insurance, a key task before major shipments or when entering new trade routes.
