The partnership combines the international support of WCAworld, the world's largest network of independent freight forwarders, with Hanseatica's technical and operational expertise and regional presence.

BUENOS AIRES / MIAMI, August 6, 2025 – With the aim of offering greater value and exclusive protection solutions for international trade, World Insurance Services (WIS), the insurance and risk management division of WCAworld, has formed a strategic alliance with Hanseatica Insurance Company.

This agreement will provide members of WCAworld and its affiliated networks in the Americas with an insurance program specifically designed to meet the complex needs of the regional logistics industry.

International freight transport currently faces growing challenges due to operational risks, regulatory changes, and supply chain disruptions.

With insurance solutions for international freight transport and liability insurance for logistics operators, WCA members will have comprehensive coverage for their assets.

“The value we bring to this partnership lies in providing peace of mind and tailored solutions for each freight forwarder and logistics operator. We know that operating in our region presents unique customs and operational challenges. That’s why our approach goes beyond a conventional policy: we offer comprehensive support with agile digital tools for day-to-day operations, proactive technical advice, and extremely fast claims handling in the local language of each market,” said Eduardo Bottin, President of Hanseatica.

For its part, World Insurance Services (WIS) expressed its enthusiasm for the addition of Hanseatica as a regional strategic partner, highlighting its solid track record, flexible underwriting capacity, and deep understanding of logistics in Latin America—all of which will ensure the local support and service that WCAworld members need to continue expanding safely.
