SERVICE DETAIL
Why You Need Comprehensive Cargo Insurance
Shipping internationally involves multiple transfers and handling points, exposing your goods to various risks (damage, theft, loss, or catastrophic events).
Standard Carrier Liability is highly limited and typically covers less than per pound of cargo, regardless of the goods’ value. Relying on this means you risk a major financial loss in the event of an incident.
Our Shipper’s Cargo Insurance guarantees that you are protected for the full commercial value of your shipment across all transport modes, from warehouse to final destination.
The liability limits placed on carriers (ocean lines, airlines, and railways) are dictated by international conventions (e.g., Hague-Visby Rules for sea, Montreal Convention for air) and are not designed to cover your commercial loss.
| Feature | Standard Carrier Liability (All Modes) | Our Shipper’s All-Risk Cargo Insurance |
| Coverage Basis | Legal limit set by weight or package count. | Full Commercial Value of your goods. |
| Covered Events | Only covers loss or damage caused by the carrier’s proven negligence. | Covers nearly all external causes of loss or damage (“All-Risk”). |
| Scope of Journey | Only applies while the cargo is under that specific carrier’s custody. | End-to-End coverage from the moment the goods leave the factory until arrival at the final receiver. |
| Claim Resolution | Difficult, prolonged process requiring proof of carrier fault. | Fast, simple, and processed directly through our dedicated team. |
We offer flexible, tailored policies based on the type of goods and the trade route.
Best For: High-value, finished, or general merchandise shipped via Container (FCL/LCL), Air, or Rail.
Covers: Any accidental external cause of loss or damage, including theft, fire, rough handling, collision, and non-delivery, with minor standard exclusions.
Best For: Bulk commodities, raw materials, or used equipment.
Covers: Only the specific perils listed in the policy (e.g., sinking of a vessel, derailment, collision, fire).
For sea shipments, our policy includes coverage for General Average. This is a marine law where all parties whose cargo is saved from peril (like a fire or grounding) must proportionally contribute to the costs of the loss and rescue operations. Our insurance covers your portion of this charge.
To ensure complete financial recovery, we advise insuring your cargo for its total replacement cost at the destination, including associated expenses.
The Buffer is an industry standard to cover anticipated profit, duty, customs fees, and other costs lost due to the claim.
You can secure comprehensive coverage easily when booking your shipment with us. Contact our logistics specialists to discuss your shipment’s value, and we will integrate the insurance cost and documentation directly into your booking confirmation.
