Protecting your marine cargo and supply chain
We’ll help you understand the risks your business faces, and take practical action to mitigate them.
Resilient supply chain, resilient business
We can help you identify areas of risk, reduce incidents and mitigate losses in your marine business. From the cargo to the ship, from warehouse to worker, our whole strategy helps your business be more resilient.
Get an expert view
We’ll review your current risk management systems including your operational procedures, recruitment and training, physical risks at storage locations, logistics and transport, security features, and incident management systems.
We’ll show you what’s working well, highlight opportunities for improvement, and identify any less obvious risks. Then we agree a risk improvement plan with you, for practical recommendations, guidance and support to protect your business and its operations.
Then build business resilience
We’ll help you embed risk management into your day-to-day business practice by establishing a systematic way of managing your risks.
We can develop practical solutions for specific problem areas, provide early warning of emerging risks, and reduce your incident and collision potential to avoid unplanned, unexpected and uninsured costs.
Focussed guidance
We work in partnership with the RISCAuthority to offer a library of focussed loss control guidance - The Business Property Protection Portal (BPPP). It's designed to highlight the specific risks that affect different business organisation types and trades to help you stay resilient. Download loss control guidance relevant to your business, drawing from our own advice as well as extensive insurance and geographical toolkits from RISCAuthority.

Periscope: unrivalled capability for deeper insight
We go beyond the usual screening of maritime assets, which might look no further than classification methods based on flag and age.
Our proprietary risk model for ships, Periscope, uses data on the world’s entire maritime fleet – including construction, navigational and regulatory data – alongside RSA’s own marine exposure and claims data. We’re the only insurance company with this capability.
