Asia’s data centre boom is driving highly complex, capital-intensive construction projects at unprecedented speed. Hyperscale and edge facilities rely on globally sourced, high-value equipment – advanced cooling systems, transformers, precision MEP components – and robust power infrastructure to meet growing energy demands, creating concentrated supply chain and operational risks.

Manufacturing bottlenecks, logistics delays, customs issues, transport damage or installation errors can quickly cascade into schedule slippage, commissioning delays and potential DSU exposures.

This panel will explore the challenges of delivering data centres at pace while maintaining resilient supply chains and reliable energy infrastructure. Discussion will focus on managing cargo, logistics and energy-related risks, and on how insurance programmes – including builders risk, DSU/ALOP, cargo, equipment breakdown and liability covers – are evolving to protect owners and contractors.

Attendees will gain practical insights into mitigating supply chain and cargo risk, safeguarding high-value equipment and aligning risk management and insurance strategies for Asia’s fastest-growing digital infrastructure sector.
