Types of Cargo Insurance
Cargo insurance provides peace of mind by protecting the value of your goods while they are being transported — by sea, air, rail, or road. Different policy types offer different levels of protection to match your needs and budget.
All-Risk Coverage
This is the most comprehensive and commonly chosen option. It protects against a broad range of risks that could cause loss or damage to cargo during transit — including theft, mishandling, fire, natural disasters, and other unforeseen events. All-risk policies are designed to cover most eventualities except specific exclusions outlined in the policy.
Free of Particular Average (FPA) Insurance
FPA coverage provides protection against major, significant losses — such as a vessel grounding, collision, or sinking — that exceed a predetermined threshold. It does not cover minor or partial losses like everyday wear and tear or gradual deterioration during transit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cargo insurance?
Cargo insurance is a specialized form of coverage that financially protects the owner or consignee of shipment goods from loss or damage while the goods are in transit.
Who needs cargo insurance?
Any business involved in shipping goods — domestically or internationally — can benefit from cargo insurance. It’s especially important for high-value, fragile, or time-sensitive shipments.
Is cargo insurance mandatory?
Cargo insurance is typically not legally required, but it’s highly recommended. Carriers and freight forwarders often limit their liability, meaning without insurance, you could bear the full risk of a loss.
How much does cargo insurance cost?
Premiums vary depending on factors like the value of goods, mode of transport, route, type of coverage chosen, and specific risks associated with the shipment. Contact us for a personalized quote.
