FIATA and Otonomi partner to offer cargo and delay insurance globally

FIATA, International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations has partnered with Insurtech provider Otonomi, to offer cargo and delay insurance solutions to freight forwarders worldwide. The partnership aims to help members better manage business interruption risks caused by delayed cargo across air, ocean, and eCommerce shipments.

The collaboration was formalised during the session “Unlocking Value with Emerging Technologies in Freight Forwarding” at the 2026 FIATA HQ Meeting in Geneva. FIATA Members can now access Otonomi's cargo delay insurance directly on the official partnership page, where they can request a quote in seconds. By providing key shipment details, including Air Waybill or Bill of Lading information, Otonomi’s algorithms evaluate potential delays and generate a digital quote instantly, without paperwork or manual underwriting. Members can choose their preferred delay trigger, from three to 24 hours, and coverage limit, with policy terms confirmed and issued digitally.

Stéphane Graber, FIATA Director General, said the partnership would provide members with tools to protect their business and clients’ cargo more efficiently. “By offering FIATA Members access to a modern, digitally-driven cargo and delay insurance solution, we are helping them safeguard their operations with greater ease,” he said.

Yann Barbaroux, CEO and Founder of Otonomi, highlighted that the partnership addresses a longstanding gap in logistics insurance. “Freight forwarders have long been underserved when it comes to protecting their business against cargo delays. Partnering with FIATA allows us to bring a fast, digital solution to tens of thousands of forwarders worldwide,” he said.

The programme covers sectors such as perishables, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, critical automotive, life sciences, electronics, and e-commerce. Otonomi’s platform manages the full insurance lifecycle, including quoting, policy issuance, and claims handling, while ensuring compliance with regulations across jurisdictions.
