Cargo protection
Most shipments arrive as they left. For the ones that do not, cover and evidence make the difference. We arrange both.
Marine cargo insurance
Cover for goods in transit, arranged with insurers.
When to use it
Whenever the risk is yours under the Incoterm, and always when the contract or credit requires an insurance certificate, as CIF and CIP do.
What we handle
- Obtaining quotes from insurers
- Arranging the policy or certificate in the form the contract or credit requires
- Making sure the insured value and the documents match
What to send us for a quote
- Cargo description and value
- Route and mode
- The Incoterm
- Any cover terms in the contract or credit
We arrange cover with insurers. We are not an insurer.
Inspection and cargo survey
