OBOR One Belt One Road initiative
Overview OBOR locations aligned with Cunningham Lindsey s 21st century economic plan for global trade is essentially a mega infrastructure project with a focus on transportation and energy. This initiative, known as One Belt, One Road (OBOR), is focused on joining the economies of Europe and Asia, along with Africa and Oceania. This unique and extraordinary project seeks to link to Europe via development of overland economic corridors coupled with efficient and secure maritime transport routes. The overland Belt has a heavy emphasis on infrastructure development including railway and road connections. Other significant infrastructure such as power generation, mining & energy, and telecommunications networks are also the subject of major development. For the maritime Road the development of ports and transport hubs across Indo-Pacific is key. This includes acquisition, construction and operation of port facilities in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Kenya and Oman, amongst others. To give an idea of the scale and scope of the initiative, it is estimated by that OBOR will involve 65 plus countries covering a combined population exceeding 4.4 billion people. To support this, s banks are providing massive funding for Chinese enterprises to develop and operate along the economic corridors being developed. alone has pledged US$125 billion in financing to develop these corridors on both land and sea, across seven key regional operating spheres: Africa Russia Central Asia South Asia Eastern Europe South East Asia Middle East As we enter 2018, infrastructure development in all these regions is moving rapidly and on a significant scale. Although projects are currently dominated by transport, energy and telecommunications, there is growing focus on other sectors such as health and education. Cunningham Lindsey is dedicated to providing the highest possible quality of service to meet the insurance claims of the OBOR initiative. Whether this is the construction of a power plant in Laos or marine surveys in Europe, we are committed to always bring the right expertise to the right place at the right time, with a focus on not just meeting, but exceeding all our client s expectations. Six international economic corridors and one maritime silk road Together, the OBOR initiative will connect more than 65 countries which will account for over 60% of the world s population and 30% of global GDP. Cunningham Lindsey has offices in over 60 countries with over 6000 employees and has a global network in all geographic areas positioned to handle and manage the insurance claim requirements of the OBOR project. Our expansive global network not only provides us with global capability, it also provides us with local and regional knowledge, language and cultural understandings, country specific management and an ability to form bespoke teams.
