Cargo Insurance
Many of our customers believe that the carrier or steamship line that moves their goods will automatically cover them with insurance for loss or damages. However, this is not the case, road transport companies generally hold limited coverage however ocean transport is not covered unless you the cargo owner arrange insurance coverage.
It should never be assumed that another party has made the necessary arrangements for you and expect that your goods are automatically insured on an ‘all-risks’ basis whilst in transit or third-party storage.
Under maritime law, shipping companies tend to operate of Carriage that limits their liability in cases of loss, damage, under Condition or delay. We highly advise obtaining insurance to protect against loss, damage, or delays during transit, and we are more than willing to assist you in arranging this coverage.
