GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, June 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenlight Re Innovations (GRI), part of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLRE) (Greenlight Re or the Company), has announced an investment in Paxafe, Inc. (Paxafe), a supply-chain visibility and analytics platform focused on high value and perishable cargo.

Shippers and insurers have historically lacked certain basic insights into shipments location, condition, and custody. Paxafe introduces innovative solutions to these challenges. Using IoT sensors that advise of the cargos location, Paxafes CONTXT platform provides an interactive timeline that displays a full chain of custody.

The platform also tracks environmental data such as temperature, humidity, pressure, tilt, shock, and light to identify conditions in which there is an elevated risk of cargo damage. When such conditions arise, the platform communicates actionable information to the affected parties to prevent or mitigate adverse events that might otherwise occur.

Simon Burton, Chief Executive Officer at Greenlight Re, said, The ability to monitor the location of cargo and its environment in real-time has the potential to transform cargo risk underwriting. We look forward to working with Paxafe as they bring this innovative approach to the cargo market.

Ilya Preston, Chief Executive Officer at Paxafe, said, Risk and loss through the supply chain dont just negatively impact shippers and logistics companies, but also cargo insurers. Technology providers focus on visibility, whereas we see an opportunity to predict where risk is prevalent and prevent that loss altogether. Were thrilled to lean on Greenlights insurance expertise as we look to bridge the gap between cargo insurance and the supply chain.
