Captain Andrew Kinsey, Senior Marine Risk Consultant, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, recently discussed some of the trends that will shape 2021 for the maritime, ports and logistics world.
MR TV: As we come to the end of 2020, talk now turns not simply to COVID-19 and a potential vaccine, but to the supply chain logistics and challenges that come with distributing those vaccines. How does the picture look from where you sit?
Andrew Kinsey:  The picture looks complicated. It's a global demand. It's a global logistics problem. So in its scope and complexity, it is unmatched for what we've ever faced before, and it's multifaceted. We have a tremendous theft potential because of the value of (the vaccine). And then also the theft is augmented by the current economic conditions globally; we have seen an uptick in pilferage of cargoes throughout North America. But then we also have the cold chain complications of any form of shipment. So the chain of custody, the shipment, the packaging; can we effectively and efficiently transport this in the timeframe required? That comes down to that last mile challenge, as (the vaccine) has to get to the recipient in good order, at temp, within the timeline.
