SINGAPORE, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Chubb announced today that it has received the "Asia-Pacific Insurance Innovation Award" for its CargoAdvantage^® system at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Risk Management Awards.

Organized by StrategicRISK, the industry awards recognize and reward organizations and individuals who demonstrate that they have gone the extra mile with measurable results to introduce or improve their risk management strategies.

The "Asia-Pacific Insurance Innovation Award" recognizes insurers that can demonstrate that they have developed an innovative risk and/or insurance product, solution or initiative that has significantly benefited one or more of their Asia-Pacific clients. The awards were independently and rigorously judged by a panel of risk experts from across the region.

Chubb's CargoAdvantage is a proprietary and market-leading web-based marine insurance quoting and issuing system. It allows freight forwarders to reduce liability by offering a cargo insurance quote and cover for a shipment within four minutes. This user-friendly system has multiple benefits for transport companies, including:

• Certificates issued on the spot to support transportation and trade documentation
• The system is accessible anywhere, anytime via computer with Internet access
• The certificates are automatically archived and can easily be referenced in the event of a claim
• Streamlined operations process of automated monthly invoicing and billing
• CargoAdvantage also provides logistics companies with access to Incoterms® 2010, a glossary of common Marine terms and claims forms for ease of reference and convenience

Commenting on the win, Jason Keen, Chubb's Head of Property & Casualty for Asia Pacific, said, "We are very proud to receive this award for innovation. As craftsmen of insurance, we meticulously conceive, craft and deliver extraordinary coverage and service for our customers and their agents and brokers.

This award is testament to our work in developing a truly ground-breaking solution to benefit our clients in the region."
