Breeze

What Breeze does

Breeze (legal entity Blue Ocean Data Solution Ltd.) is a digital cargo insurance platform founded in 2021 that underwrites and distributes per-shipment cargo coverage to freight forwarders, logistics service providers, brokers, and TMS/ERP platforms. The platform offers instant self-service policy issuance, no minimum volumes, and no setup costs, with cover spanning air, ocean, rail, and road transport door-to-door, including loss, theft, damage, General Average, and natural disasters. Its core product is the Breeze AI Cargo Insurance Platform, supplemented by an API integration layer that embeds coverage at the point of booking in partner systems such as Flexport and Cardinal's global network, and a broker back-office module for centralized policy and claims management. The 2026 launch of Quote AI Autofill adds AI-driven document data extraction (NLP plus computer vision) to auto-populate quote fields from uploaded shipping documents.

The business operates on a usage-based, per-shipment premium model paid by freight forwarders and shippers, with additional transaction-fee revenue from embedded distribution partners. Breeze is headquartered in New York with regional headquarters and operational offices in London (FCA-authorized, reference 98691), Tel Aviv, and Genoa, and operates a US entity (Breeze US Data Solutions, LLC, DBA Buds Insurance Agency Solutions, CA License #6007491).

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Loadsure: Direct competitor offering digital, per-shipment cargo insurance for freight forwarders and logistics providers with a similar self-service and embedded model. Most directly comparable to Breeze in product, target customer, and go-to-market.
• Cover Genius: Embedded insurance platform offering cargo and shipping insurance distributed through partner platforms via API. Directly comparable on the embedded-insurance-for-economy thesis, though Cover Genius operates more broadly across multiple insurance lines.

Broad incumbents

• Marsh (Marsh McLennan): Major global insurance broker with deep cargo and marine practice. Comparable in that it sits between shippers/forwarders and underwriters, though operating via traditional broker relationships rather than embedded APIs.
• Zurich Insurance: Major global insurer with substantial marine cargo insurance franchise serving large freight forwarders and shippers. Represents the incumbent channel that Breeze is disrupting with its digital, embedded approach.
• Aon: Global insurance broker that arranges cargo and marine insurance for large shippers and forwarders. Represents the legacy distribution channel Breeze is bypassing with its embedded API model.
• Chubb: Global P&C insurer with established marine cargo underwriting capabilities. Represents a potential competitor or capacity partner that could either disrupt Breeze through its own digital offering or underwrite Breeze-distributed policies.
• Allianz Trade (Euler Hermes): Large global trade credit and cargo insurer offering marine cargo insurance for international trade. Competes with Breeze for the same logistics customers but through traditional broker channels.

Others

• Flexport: Largest freight forwarding customer of Breeze that embedded Breeze's insurance product inside its platform. Functions as a strategic partner/distributor, making its own platform direction relevant to Breeze's commercial outlook.

Emerging players

• Wrisk: Embedded insurance infrastructure platform enabling partners to offer tailored insurance products via API. Comparable in the embedded-distribution model, with overlap in the logistics and mobility verticals.
• INSHUR: Digital commercial insurance platform focused on transport and mobility verticals with on-demand, per-trip policies. Comparable business model (instant, usage-based commercial insurance) though focused on commercial auto rather than cargo.
