For manufacturers in every industry, ensuring your cargo is protected during transit is essential. At Wentworth Alexander Insurance Brokers, we understand that every business faces unique risks when moving goods by land, sea, air, or rail. Accidents, theft, physical damage, or unforeseen events can all have a significant financial impact if your shipments are not properly insured.
That’s why choosing the right freight insurance provider is a critical decision for any business, and why working with an experienced broker like Wentworth Alexander can make all the difference.
We offer tailored freight insurance solutions for freight forwarders, logistics companies, manufacturers, and other businesses involved in the transportation of goods. Our highly experienced team ensures that your shipments, customers’ goods, and operations are protected, giving you peace of mind knowing that your business is covered no matter what happens during transit.
Why Businesses Need a Specialist Freight Insurance Broker
Many companies assume that freight forwarders or carriers automatically assume full responsibility for goods in transit. In reality, freight liability is often limited by standard trading conditions and international conventions, meaning the carrier’s liability rarely covers the full value of a shipment. At Wentworth Alexander, we work with you to bridge this gap by arranging freight and cargo insurance that exceeds these limits and provides comprehensive protection.
Our expertise allows us to assess the risks specific to your business, whether your cargo is shipped by air, sea, or land, stored temporarily in a warehouse, or moving through multiple logistics providers. This ensures that your insurance policy is tailored to your operational requirements, providing cover that protects your shipments from physical damage, theft, or other unforeseen events.
Tailored Insurance Solutions
No two shipments are the same, and different goods face different risks. Our specialists work closely with you to understand your operations, stock throughput, and cargo types, and then design a policy that reflects the full value or actual value of your goods, depending on your requirements.
For example, marine cargo insurance provides worldwide coverage for shipments by sea, protecting against adverse weather, piracy, and other maritime risks. For freight forwarders, we offer freight forwarders liability insurance that safeguards your business against claims arising from errors or omissions in arranging shipments. Even warehouse keepers and storage providers can benefit from tailored policies covering stock throughput, protecting goods in storage before they are dispatched.
By tailoring policies to your business, we aim to ensure that every shipment is adequately covered, and you have peace of mind knowing that your customers’ goods and your financial interests are protected.
Expert Guidance on Compliance and Risk Management
Shipping goods internationally involves navigating international conventions, standard trading conditions, and local regulations. At Wentworth Alexander, our highly experienced team guides you through this complexity, ensuring that your business complies with legal and contractual obligations while maximising your coverage.
We can advise on carrier liability, helping you understand the limits of protection offered by carriers and where additional insurance coverage is needed. This guidance is particularly valuable for businesses dealing with high-value cargo, specialised shipments, or multiple logistics providers, ensuring that risks are identified and mitigated before goods leave your facility.
Comprehensive Coverage Across All Modes of Transport
At Wentworth Alexander, we provide freight insurance that covers all modes of transport – land, air, sea, and rail. This includes cargo insurance, marine cargo insurance, and freight forwarders liability insurance, all designed to protect your business against losses that may occur at any point in the supply chain.
For businesses shipping internationally, marine insurance is essential. Our team recommends that your shipments are protected against natural disasters, accidents, and human errors, providing compensation for lost or damaged cargo. Even domestic shipments benefit from our expertise, with insurance policies that cover theft, physical damage, and unforeseen events during transit.

One of the most important aspects of working with Wentworth Alexander is our commitment to claims support. In the unfortunate event that a shipment is damaged, lost, or stolen, our specialists handle the process on your behalf, liaising directly with insurers to ensure that claims are managed efficiently and fairly.
We understand that timely compensation is critical to maintaining cash flow and client trust. By guiding you through every step of the claims process, we minimise disruption to your business and ensure that you can continue operations with confidence and peace of mind.
