Practical perspectives on supply chain challenges facing transportation and logistics.

The transportation and logistics sector has proved resilient, switching modes to keep goods moving, recognising how any disruption can have significant ripple effects on all other sectors of the economy.

Lloyd's and WTW have collaborated to survey 100 transportation and logistics companies and conduct a further 79 interviews with industry professionals, insurance practitioners in the Lloyd's market and WTW specialists. Combining these perspectives with proprietary data and reports, thought leadership and third-party analysis, Lloyd's is publishing On the move: Rethinking transportation and logistics supply chains through its Futureset platform to help build further resilience in this critical sector.
