Navigating Disruption: How Brokers Can Lead the Way on the Road and Sea

Transport and logistics risk has rarely moved this fast. Post-pandemic supply chain volatility, diesel dependency, and shifting shipping routes around geopolitical flashpoints such as the Strait of Hormuz mean the risk picture for road and marine clients can change well before renewal. For brokers, that puts a premium on asking better questions and catching what clients don't think to disclose. In this episode, Andrew Kidd, Chief Underwriting Officer at NTI, and Alisha Hill, Head of Platforms at NTI, unpack how the transport insurance provider is helping brokers stay a step ahead of disruption, from mapping a client's full supply chain to understanding how a well-tested marine wording can adapt automatically when shipping patterns shift. Both guests bring specific, practical guidance brokers can use in their very next client conversation. Key Takeaways: - Early notification at the time of a loss is the single biggest factor in a good claims outcome - Why physically walking a client's yard can surface risk changes that declarations miss - How NTI's package policies are designed to close gaps between commercial motor and liability cover - How globally standardised marine wordings adjusted automatically when shipping patterns shifted around the Strait of Hormuz - The one question brokers should ask every transport client about claims readiness Tune in now to hear how brokers can turn disruption into an opportunity to prove their worth.
