If you’re transporting goods (your own or customers) abroad, you probably do. This can range from a business importing or exporting any type of goods or individuals transporting their personal belongings overseas.
It’s unlikely that your carrier will have any insurance in place to automatically cover the cost of any of your goods or property in the event of damage or loss, their trading conditions normally limit their financial liability to as low as £1,300 per ton. Cargo insurance will cover your shipment up to its full value. You could also find yourself liable for the cost of other peoples goods on the same vessel under a ‘General Average’ clause, which requires surviving cargo owners to contribute towards the value of lost cargo that may have been abandoned to save the carrying vessel.
For businesses, it’s important that your goods are delivered on time and undamaged to maintain your reputation. So when things go wrong you need to be sure that you have insurance that won’t let you down.
