BIFA's director general, Steve Parker, emphasized his commitment to increasing insurance uptake and improving EU relations during a recent event in London. He noted that a significant portion of global freight may be uninsured, which complicates matters when issues arise. Parker explained that insurance for freight is complex, as operators must secure coverage per shipment due to varying products and destinations. Additionally, he called for a "reset" with Europe to reduce friction in goods movement, advocating for more seamless trading processes.
