Whether you are a manufacturer, importer/exporter, an International Freight Forwarder or a company which manages its own international transport, you will need cover for freight movement.

Cargo insurance encompasses the transportation of goods by sea, air, rail and road within and outside the UK.
Under the majority of freight contracts, the shipper must supply indemnities with regards to the following objectives:
• ownership of the goods
• duties and taxes
• claims made against the forwarder in excess of the liabilities provided for in the trading conditions
• the accuracy of the description of the goods
• any failure to warn (and the proper loading) of goods which may pollute other goods
• un-declared goods of a dangerous or detrimental nature.

Many clients graduate from placing cover on an ad hoc basis to having their own marine cargo policy which relates to their goods and their needs specifically. The advantages to this are cover is automatic usually with only an annual declaration and more competitive rates

In addition If you are a freight forwarder, haulier, container operator or warehouse keeper, you will also require insurance to cover your legal liabilities under your trading conditions for errors and omissions and for loss for damage to goods in your control.
