Comprehensive Solutions to Freight and Insurance Challenges: A Case Study on Israel Trade

Latest update on 20 Sep, 2024 by Aaron Tam – Marketing Analyst at FreightAmigo

In recent years, global geopolitical tensions have severely impacted supply chains worldwide. Events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and tensions between Israel and Hamas have created uncertainty, affecting shipping routes, costs, and insurance premiums, especially in high-risk areas.

Geopolitical Tensions and Rising Operational Costs

The Red Sea crisis forced shipping companies to reroute, leading to skyrocketing costs and delays. With escalating tensions in the Middle East and the upcoming shipping peak season, global shipping prices, capacity, and schedules are under immense pressure. Additionally, geopolitical conflicts have resulted in increased freight insurance costs, particularly for goods operating in or passing through high-risk regions.

Traditional Methods Struggle with Logistics and Insurance

Around September last year, an organic and natural cosmetics retailer encountered numerous obstacles while arranging sea freight from Israel to Hong Kong, including soaring shipping costs and delays of 2 to 6 months from various logistics service providers. They spent considerable time searching for suitable logistics service providers. The management of the retailer was very focused on risk management, so they sought to purchase freight insurance for their goods. However, due to the cargo passing through high-risk areas, insurance companies refused to provide coverage. It wasn’t until November that the retailer discovered FreightAmigo online and found a one-stop solution for freight insurance and logistics: instant sea freight quotes from over 1,000 logistics service providers, a one-click freight insurance application without the need to re-enter data or provide additional documentation. Furthermore, the retailer could track their cargo in real-time online anytime and anywhere. Despite Israel being considered a high-risk area, after using FreightAmigo, the retailer successfully arranged sea freight from Israel to Hong Kong and purchased freight insurance for their goods, protecting them from various potential risks and avoiding business interruptions. FreightAmigo successfully helped the retailer solve logistics and insurance issues while ensuring timely delivery, and this positive experience prompted the retailer to continue using the platform.
