Why is this insurance important?
No transport is without risk for the goods: As the shipper, you have a legitimate interest in ensuring your goods arrive at the recipient undamaged. Freight forwarders and carriers do their best, but unfortunately, damage often occurs for which the carrier does not compensate at all or only partially.
THINK AHEAD
The liability of freight forwarders and carriers is limited both in terms of reason and amount. In many cases, compensation for loss or damage is not even close to the value of the goods. Furthermore, the freight forwarder or carrier is not liable for certain losses at all. In the worst case scenario, you, as the shipper, will have to bear losses by yourself.
PREVENT THEM
Cargo insurance provides tailored preventative measures and comprehensive coverage for your goods. Claims are settled up to the full value of the goods, regardless of the freight forwarder's liability. Cargo insurance provides for simple evidence in the event of a claim. Your advantage: less bureaucracy. This means that damage doesn't become a risk to your customer relationships.
