Insurance

Cargo insurance protects you from financial loss due to damaged or lost cargo. It pays you the amount you’re insured for if a covered event happens to your freight. And these covered events are usually natural disasters, vehicle accidents, cargo abandonment, customs rejection, acts of war, and piracy. When your freight is in transit, it is prone to risk that can damage or cause the loss of your shipment. If a shipment was lost at sea because the container ship sank, the carrier liability is usually not enough to cover the value of the freight. If your truck was involved in an accident, you just lost two assets — your truck and your goods. That’s why it’s important to consider cargo insurance for your freight. It allows you to save time and money if your cargo is lost or damaged. And through this article, you’ll learn more about cargo insurance and its benefits, types, and coverage.
