Canada’s railway industry is an indispensable portion of the global supply chain.
Between constantly changing logistics and rail-based legislation, advancements in technology and the growing needs of better connecting cities and municipalities, the challenges of keeping talented operators and conductors in your wheelhouses, maintaining a safe and secure fleet and the sheer intricacies of claims administration when an inevitable accident happens, the railway industry is always in motion.
While, on the surface, getting passengers and cargo where they need to go on a fixed track could seem simple, there are a huge number of risks you need to mind before pulling out of the station. Beyond the engine itself, it’s also important to consider how you manage your workforce across your offices to your maintenance bays. The effectiveness of your tools to the safety of your shipping yards and passenger stops and new construction play a part as well. Ultimately, the sheer volume of exposures tends to leave insurance markets cautious when it comes to transportation and shipping risk.
