Ports constitute one of the most important nodes of transport networks, and they represent the border control points and the freight handling points, the administrative service centers, place of the implementation of trade procedures, as well as the link connecting the land and maritime routes. The functioning of the international transport corridor depends to a large extent on the ports and maritime transport efficiency.
Despite significant investments, the operations of port and ships are mostly non-standard, which hinders the development of the maritime transport sector. However, infrastructure is not the major obstacle to maritime transport development. National regulatory policy should be revised in keeping with the growing popularity of the concept of economic globalization and supply network. It is necessary to reform the relevant roles of the private sector and the State, where the latter is represented by stateowned companies and state monopolies.

Risk exists objectively in any marine enterprise, since the human presence of a person on the sea is accompanied both by circumstances caused by the irresistible forces of nature and directly by activities in the sphere of trading navigation. Risk management in the logistics supply chain is a complex multidimensional problem addressed in the process of identifying and assessing the risks and taking measures of protection against them.
In logistics, risk refers to the likelihood of an insured event occurring, as well as the possible damage caused by this event. Risk and an insured event can be described by using methods of the reliability theory. In this case, reliability is the probability of operation of the logistics system with failure or with no failure.
In order to identify rational methods and techniques for insurance, it is advisable to construe the logistics system as the process of movement of material resources.
