BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

September 16, 2015 Reprints

The International Union of Marine Insurance has called for more measures to prevent cargo thefts following an increase in such crimes globally, Splash 247 reported.

IUMI said in a position paper that cargo theft is no longer limited to high-value goods and that online trading platforms are driving the crime. "Back in 2008 the European Union estimated the annual economic damage to Europe was €8.2 billion ($9.3 billion) and this figure must be vastly increased today," an IUMI official said.
