What is cargo insurance used for?

As a general rule, carriers’ liability insurance only covers damage where the carrier is at fault. That means if carriers’ fault is not established, the owner of the cargo can experience losses due to cargo damage or when it’s lost.

Cargo insurance provides comprehensive protection from sudden accidents, reduces the business risk of the owner of  cargo and provides trusted financial guarantees, that losses will be indemnified for damaged or lost cargo in the event of an insured event.

Cargo insurance will be applied to:

• Cargo on board;
• Reasonable expenses to reduce or avoid losses incurred.

• Traffic accident on the road;
• Theft;
• Third party illegal action;
• Natural disasters;
• Other insurance protections, which is agreed upon in advance.
