Cargo insurance

What is cargo insurance?

Cargo insurance is a type of property insurance that protects goods against losses or damages during transport. This essential insurance is crucial for companies engaged in international trade, providing coverage against risks associated with transporting goods over long distances. Cargo insurance can apply to various modes of transport, including road, rail, sea, and air.

The primary purpose of cargo insurance is to provide financial protection against losses caused by damage, theft, vehicle breakdowns, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events that could impact the value of the goods.

Cargo insurance can be tailored to meet the needs of a company. It can cover general risks or specific perils outlined in the policy. The value of the insurance is usually based on the value of the goods and the transport costs.
