Why insurance?
- Banks require proof of insurance if a shipment is on a letter of credit;
- Cargo Insurance provides coverage that the carriers don’t. The carrier does not insure your cargo, and their liability may be less than the value of your goods;
- Laws and convention for transports include limitation that may reduce compensation to a certain sum per kilo. Therefore, payments may not always fully correspond to actual value of the cargo;
- Full value compensation;
- 10% imaginary profits paid in addition;
- If you are exporting FOB or importing CIF at which point are you responsible to insure the cargo?
- Professional and swift claim assistance through our broker, Transwold Asig;
- If your shipment is insured locally, claims are paid more readily.
Who needs cargo insurance?
Just about every entity that imports or exports raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished goods, long lead material or sells a portion of finished products abroad needs cargo insurance. The list includes, but is not limited to, manufacturers, retailers, and import and export traders. The goal when purchasing insurance coverage is to cover the financial exposure during cargo transit, keeping in mind that many carriers only maintain the minimal requirements as governed.
What is covered?
Cargo insurance protects every shipment through each leg of the voyage, from the point of departure or the seller's warehouse to arrival at the consignee's warehouse. Whether the transit is by land, sea, or air, coverage is continuous and includes, if needed, related warehousing—anywhere in the world.
