Do you have Cargo Insurance in place?

Even in the modern international logistics era, cargo insurance is a necessity for importers and exporters, and is probably as important now as it ever has been.

Technology, such as CCTV security and tracking systems, has dramatically reduced the likelihood of goods being lost or stolen. However, while the vast majority of shipments move safely and securely, there is always a very small chance that something uncontrollable may occur.

Climate change has brought on sporadic adverse weather conditions which can impact all modes of transport, we have also witnessed fires on cargo ships during the past 2-3 years, and accidents inevitably occur on roads. These are all uncontrollable.

It is important to note that all carriers, hauliers and forwarders are protected by liability limitations in their trading conditions. This means that cargo insurance is the only means of covering you for the full value of your goods in the unlikely event that something is lost, stolen or damaged.
