Dubai Chambers has showcased a newly launched Cargo War Risk Insurance programme by DP World during a special Export Majlis event organised in partnership with Dubai Customs.
The event, attended by 267 participants from the manufacturing, logistics and export sectors, focused on helping businesses understand how the insurance programme can protect supply chains from disruptions affecting trade routes across the Middle East.
The Cargo War Risk Insurance programme offers comprehensive protection covering ocean and air freight, port storage and inland transportation. The solution is designed to bridge gaps often left by traditional insurance policies, which usually cover only one section of the supply chain.
Speaking during the event, Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, said the initiative reflects efforts to strengthen the private sector’s ability to adapt to changes in the global trade environment.
He said the chamber aims to raise awareness about innovative services that improve operational resilience and business continuity, while also connecting manufacturers, exporters and logistics companies with practical solutions that minimise risks linked to international trade.
Yuvraj Narayan, Group Chief Executive Officer of DP World, said growing global trade complexities have made supply chain resilience increasingly important.
He noted that the Cargo War Risk Insurance programme demonstrates DP World’s commitment to supporting customers with solutions that safeguard cargo movement and maintain trade continuity across major regional corridors.
According to DP World, the programme is available to companies trading in or through the Middle East and is designed to support cargo movement across key trade routes including the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and surrounding inland corridors.
Meanwhile, Dubai Customs highlighted several initiatives aimed at improving business continuity and trade efficiency. These include creating regulatory frameworks for alternative shipping routes, extending transit periods and strengthening coordination with stakeholders to speed up response times and improve the flow of trade.
