Protection for Your Cargo

Your Best Protection Against
Any Possible Risk

We know for a fact that certain cargo requires more than just shipping from one place to another. That is why we offer cargo insurance through our own insurance brokerage firm — as your best protection against any possible risks or financial loss.

Our cargo insurance is an added-value service that gives you the certainty that, if something goes wrong during shipping and handling, you will be fully refunded.

How It's Priced

The Insurance Cost is Determined
by 4 Factors

Every shipment is unique. Our experts calculate the right coverage based on these four key criteria.

01
paid

Factor 01

Value of the Shipment

The declared commercial value of your goods determines the baseline coverage amount and directly affects the premium.

02
category

Factor 02

Nature of the Goods

Fragile, hazardous, perishable, or high-value commodities each carry different risk profiles, which affects the coverage terms.

03

Factor 03

Mode of Transport

Whether your shipment travels by air, sea, or land — each mode has its own risk exposure and corresponding insurance rate.

04

Factor 04

Origin & Destination

The routing of your shipment — including transit countries, ports, and final delivery point — is factored into your coverage calculation.

Do You Need It?

When Should You
Insure Your Cargo?

Carriers and freight forwarders around the world have limited liability for any financial loss. If your cargo is valuable, you are always recommended to purchase insurance coverage during transport.
