Logistics Insurance UK

Logistics insurance is designed for businesses that store, handle, move, distribute or coordinate goods across the supply chain. It is broader than a standard freight-led policy because logistics businesses often combine warehousing, fulfilment, distribution, outsourced transport, customer goods exposure and contractual liability within one operation. For ecommerce businesses, see ecommerce insurance.

What Is Logistics Insurance?

Logistics insurance is a specialist insurance solution for logistics companies and operators whose risk sits across warehousing, customer goods, distribution, fulfilment, liability and supply chain activity.

Who needs logistics insurance

  • Logistics companies.
  • Third-party logistics providers.
  • Warehouse-led logistics businesses.
  • Distribution operations, fulfilment businesses and importers/exporters with storage and movement exposure.

What does logistics insurance cover

  • Public liability insurance and employers liability insurance for operational exposures.
  • Warehouse and stock exposure where owned or customer goods are concentrated on site.
  • Customer-goods and logistics-liability exposure under contracts.
  • Goods in transit, cargo-linked sections and business interruption where movement and continuity risk are material.

What Risks Do Logistics Insurers Look At?

Insurers usually focus on stock concentration, operational controls and contractual scope across the service model.

Common underwriting factors

  • Type and value of goods handled.
  • Stock accumulation at one site.
  • Fire and theft protection.
  • Handling activity, forklift use and loading operations.

Operational and contractual risk

  • Use of subcontractors and outsourced carriers.
  • Contractual responsibilities for customer goods.
  • Claims history and business continuity planning.
  • Balance between storage-led and movement-led exposure.
