Lloyd’s Register (LR) Advisory has launched a new Supply Chain Resilience service to help ports, governments and logistics operators manage cargo disruptions and identify alternative transport routes.
The service was introduced on 4 November 2026 at the IAPH World Ports Conference in London. It focuses on keeping essential cargo moving when geopolitical tensions, port congestion, severe weather or infrastructure failures affect established trade routes.
