Amwins Program Underwriters upgrades logistics insurance program

Amwins Program Underwriters said July 21, 2026, that it has enhanced its Logistics Operations Program to help retail agents manage rising supply chain and cargo risks. The updated offering consolidates key liability coverages into one form and adds flexibility for domestic and international logistics businesses.

Why it matters: - The logistics sector is facing more complex supply chain and cargo exposures as global trade and distribution networks expand. - Retail agents need a simpler way to place coverage for clients handling freight, warehousing and transportation risks. - APU’s update is aimed at reducing coverage gaps and speeding up placement in a crowded insurance market.

What happened: - Amwins Program Underwriters announced enhancements to its Logistics Operations Program on July 21, 2026. - The program is built to support retail agents serving logistics and cargo-related clients. - The update centers on APU’s proprietary FreightLock™ coverage form. - The company said monoline options remain available for agents who want narrower coverage.

The details: - FreightLock™ combines freight forwarders’, motor carriers’, warehouse, transportation broker and errors & omissions liability into one coverage form. - APU said the structure is intended to streamline placement and simplify coverage. - The program includes dedicated logistics underwriters. - APU says the program offers fast turnaround times and access to global claims resources with specialized industry experience. - The offering is designed for domestic and international freight forwarders, transportation brokers, non-vessel operating common carriers, indirect air carriers, 3PL/4PL providers, warehouse operators and customs house brokers. - Coverage is written through Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s on a non-admitted basis. - APU included more information on the logistics operations insurance program.

Between the lines: - The update suggests APU is packaging multiple logistics exposures into a more unified product as clients face broader operational risk. - The focus on clarity, speed and specialist resources signals competition on service as much as on coverage terms. - The program’s monoline option gives agents a way to tailor coverage without leaving the broader platform.

What's next: - APU will continue marketing the revised program to retail agents working with logistics-heavy accounts. - The company is likely to position the offering around faster placement and broader operational protection for global supply chain businesses. - Demand will likely hinge on how well the program balances flexibility with simplicity for agents and insureds.

The bottom line: - Amwins Program Underwriters is trying to make logistics insurance easier to place by bundling core liabilities into one streamlined program while keeping optional flexibility for agents.
