Risk at the handovers in a supply chain

A process can work well at every individual stage and still leave a gap between stages. In freight transport, examining who holds the cargo and who takes on obligations helps reconstruct the chain of responsibility.

Before discussing a policy, it is useful to clarify how the forwarder, carrier, terminal and consignee connect, and what information travels with the goods. The issue to investigate is the fit between agreements, operations and cover.

This note is a concise adaptation of my LinkedIn post. It is not a documented real-life case or an assessment of specific cover.
