Fuse launches Marine & Logistics Hub for continuous signal synthesis
The hub goes live as Verisk CargoNet data shows cargo theft incidents rose 18% in 2025 to 2,646, with estimated losses nearing $725 million.
Fuse International, Inc. launched a Marine & Logistics Hub that extends its continuous signal synthesis to marine and logistics insurance classes, including ocean marine, inland marine, cargo, warehouse legal liability, and freight broker exposure. The hub is live now at fuserisk.com, and the launch brings the total number of Fuse industry hubs on the platform to eleven, Coverager reports.
Fuse said the timing reflects a market where pricing and loss trends are moving in opposite directions. For 2026, broker marketplace guidance points to reductions of 7.5% to 15% for marine cargo and stock throughput renewals for favorable risks, while hull and machinery, marine liability, and U.S. protection and indemnity are expected to be flat to minus 5% as new entrants compete by deploying larger line sizes.
On the loss side, Fuse cited Verisk CargoNet analysis of 2025 that recorded 2,646 confirmed cargo theft incidents, an 18% year over year increase. Estimated losses were nearly $725 million, up 60%, and the average value per theft rose 36% to $273,990, which Fuse linked to organized crews targeting high value shipments.
Fuse also tied the insurer’s pricing environment to a new liability landscape after the U.S. Supreme Court’s May 14, 2026 ruling in Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC. Coverager reports the court held unanimously that state negligent selection claims against freight brokers are not preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act, with Fuse saying contingent programs were not generally underwritten or priced for this expanded negligence exposure for brokers and 3PLs.
