Due to the many inherent dangers in shipping, things sometimes go wrong.
Freight forwarders and carriers have only limited liability, and in the event of a claim, you may find that the maximum compensation under limited liability, does not cover your loss. Therefore, many exporters and importers take our insurance for their goods.
Important
We advise you to arrange transport insurance for your goods, particularly where the value of your goods is higher than the maximum amount the forwarder or carrier is liable for.
Cover explained
Insurance can be arranged by us (the forwarder), the exporter or the importer.
The benefits of insurance commonly include:
- Cover for loss or damage in transit by sea, air, road and rail.
- Cover for loss or damage at unloading/loading warehouse.
Policies can also be tailored to meet your requirements.
The insurance premium is subject to numerous factors, including:
- Value and type of goods
- Destination
- Mode of transport
In the event of an insurance claim, compensation will be based on the commercial invoice value (or market value, in the absence of the commercial invoice).
