For many years, logistics was viewed primarily as a back-end support function. Today, amid increasing global trade volatility, logistics has become a strategic factor directly influencing business growth, risk management capability, and long-term competitiveness.
Amid ongoing global supply chain restructuring, Vietnam is emerging as a key manufacturing and sourcing hub in Asia. The “China+1” strategy and the need for risk diversification are driving multinational corporations to expand their presence in Vietnam.
Entering April 2026, escalating tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have triggered a systemic disruption across global logistics networks. However, for Vietnamese import-export enterprises, the immediate risk is no longer confined to the Middle East. The critical pressure point has shifted to Asia’s transshipment hubs-most notably Singapore-where congestion is now constraining regional cargo flows at scale.

Company T (Plaintiff – the Insured) entered into an insurance contract with Company B (Defendant – the Insurer). After the insured event occurred, the Insurer alleged that the Insured had violated its obligation to prevent and mitigate losses. The Arbitral Tribunal acknowledged that such an obligation exists but concluded that the Insured did not breach it.
Under the insurance contract, the premium was to be paid in three installments, and in all three, the insured party was late in payment. When a dispute arose, the insurer (Defendant) argued that the insurance contract had terminated before the insured event occurred due to the late premium payment and therefore refused to make an insurance payout. However, the Arbitral Tribunal held a contrary view.
