Cargo insurance provides coverage for the assets you’re shipping while they’re in transit. Should those items be lost, damaged or destroyed, your policy can kick in with financial compensation. You can get cargo insurance from your shipper in some cases, or you can purchase coverage from a third-party insurer. Regardless of whether you ever have to file a claim, cargo insurance provides powerful peace of mind.
Our recent blog post provides helpful information on cargo insurance. It’s a quick and informative read.
