Australia's size and isolation causes us to rely heavily on transportation and logistics. With pressure from customers for lower cost, better quality services and an increasing reluctance to allow transportation and logistics operators to waive or limit their liability, effective risk and insurance programs are now more important than ever.

Road, rail, sea and air freight, coupled with warehousing and logistics now often managed on a 'just in time' basis, all present different risk and insurance challenges.
