MARINE CARGO, FREIGHT & TRANSPORT INSURANCE
Ensuring Your Success and Managing Your Transport Costs
What Does Marine Cargo and Freight Insurance Cover?
Transport, freight, and cargo insurance should protect against all risks while your goods are in transit. This includes physical loss or damage to goods during:
- Transit
- Import and export
- Storage during transit
Marine cargo and freight insurance covers your liability for cargo that is lost or damaged while in transit or stored pending transit. For example, it protects against damage caused by:
- Loading/unloading
- Weather
- Piracy
- Infestation
- Theft
- Other damage-causing factors
This insurance can cover goods in transit within the UK, Europe, or worldwide.
Freight Liability Insurance
Without freight liability insurance, you could be liable for the damage or loss of other people’s goods due to General Average. Customers whose cargo survives a voyage might need to compensate others whose cargo was sacrificed to save the vessel.
Who Needs Cargo & Freight Cover?
If you transport goods by road, rail, air, or sea, you must insure them. Shipments can be lost or damaged, and carriers won’t compensate for the full value of your cargo. All carriers are legally obliged to provide limited cover, usually up to a certain limit. Therefore, transport, freight, and cargo insurance are essential to cover the full value of your shipment.
