If your business relies on storing products in multiple locations, you will likely require cargo shipments and storage to keep them safe.

Many businesses choose to arrange cargo insurance cover to ensure that goods are protected whilst in transit, because of the financial commitment involved to your company and the customer.

Contact us today to further discuss your cargo insurance requirements and how Wentworth Alexander Insurance Brokers can help you select the right policy.

What Is Cargo Insurance?

There are many dangers inherent to shipping, including natural disasters, mechanical failure and human error.

Cargo insurance ensures that goods are protected from physical damage or theft during transit, whether by road, rail, sea, or air.

Who Can Benefit From Cargo Insurance?

Any business importing or exporting goods, or transporting goods, to or from the UK could benefit from purchasing cargo insurance, not just to cover potential losses, but also for peace of mind.

Whether your cargo contains raw materials or finished goods, cargo insurance can offer protection.

Such a policy is well-suited to businesses and cargo owners that rely on third-party logistics companies or delivery companies. Your policy may work out cheaper than using the one offered by your freight forwarder.

Coverage Tailored For Your Business

Cargo insurance covers a wide range of risks involved in shipping, protecting your specific needs and potential losses.

There are various unique risks involved in cargo shipments, so many shippers choose to cover their goods in transit. Ensuring that the goods in your shipment are covered, safeguards the full value of your shipment against potential loss during transportation.

How Much Does Cargo Insurance Cost?

Several factors will affect the cost of your cargo insurance policy. This can depend on:

  • The nature of the goods to be transported,

  • The risks associated with the origin country and the destination country,

  • How susceptible to damage the goods are,

  • Types of packaging used,

  • Types of conveyance,
