Achieving Cargo Integrity is all about increasing awareness and improving standards.
TT Club statistics indicate that as much as 66% of incidents related to cargo damage in the intermodal supply chain can be attributed in part to poor practice in the overall packing process, including not just load distribution and cargo securing, but also the workflow from classification and documentation through to declaration and effective data transfer.
These incidents are estimated to cost marine aviation & transport insurers in excess of USD500 million each year, alongside the major casualties, such as 'MSC Flaminia' (July 2012) or 'Maersk Honam' (March 2018). Overall economic losses are calculated to be many times this; supply chain stakeholders are collectively bearing a significant, largely avoidable burden.
