Goods are on their way to a client — when is separate cargo protection needed?

Where is the problem?

A carrier having liability insurance does not automatically mean that every loss of or damage to the goods is covered in full.

How do we approach it?

1. We describe the type, value and frequency of shipments.
2. We check who bears the risk under the agreements with the client and carrier.
3. We compare the cover needed with the limitations of the particular policy.
4. We identify which documents should be retained if an event occurs.

What should you check beforehand?

• What routes and transport modes are used?
• Who arranges the transport?
• Are any goods particularly sensitive or of high individual value?
