INSURANCE

Securing the proper cargo insurance is critical in mitigating the risk of financial loss to your goods within the supply chain. Cargo insurance provides coverage for your goods in the event of loss or damage during domestic and/or international transit.

Transit risks can include incidents that involve: rough handling, collision, overturn, theft, non-delivery, jettison (the act of casting goods from a vessel or aircraft to lighten or stabilize it), general average (all parties in a sea venture proportionally share any losses resulting from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo to save the whole in an emergency), and natural disasters, to name a few.

Cargo insurance may be written to protect goods shipped by sea, air, truck, or rail, and can include coverage throughout the distribution supply chain as well as while warehoused or in storage, as needed. Goods may be insured on a spot-shipment basis or under an open cargo policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need cargo insurance?

Freight liability is limited, so loss or damage in transit can fall on the cargo owner. Cargo insurance covers the gap between the carrier's limited liability and the full value of your goods.

What risks does cargo insurance cover?

Cover typically includes loss or damage from rough handling, collision, overturn, theft, non-delivery and general average, subject to the policy terms and any exclusions you select.

How is the premium calculated?

The premium is usually a small percentage of the insured value, normally based on CIF value plus a markup. We quote the rate once the cargo value and route are known.

Can you arrange insurance for both sea and air shipments?

Yes. We place cover for ocean, air and land legs, including multimodal shipments where the cargo changes mode along the route.
