Cargo insurance
A carrier's standard liability is calculated by weight, not by what the cargo is worth, which is why an uninsured loss is so often a bad surprise. Cover is arranged separately, against the value you declare, and it is worth having on anything valuable, fragile or hard to replace. It is optional on every shipment and quoted as a separate line so you can see exactly what it costs.
- Cover arranged against your declared value
- Quoted as a separate line, never bundled invisibly
- Cover for the whole movement, not just the sea leg
- Support with a claim if one is ever needed
- 01What the cargo is
