Shipping companies and insurers are increasingly worried about undeclared or improperly declared cargoes, which affect the marine, aviation and transport sectors. Dangerous cargo wrongly declared, incorrectly labelled or packaged may have been the main cause of a number of cargo fires, according to an Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty report. Larger vessels could make problems harder to detect, added Allianz in its 2019 Safety and Shipping Review. Allianz senior risk consultant Andrew Kinsey said misdeclared cargoes should be prevented from getting to port. Hapag-Lloyd launched cargo screening software in 2012 to help minimise risk.
