Cargo Insurance, whilst in transit and storage

The probability of sustaining a loss on goods in transit is greater than one may think. Long voyages, extensive moving and shifting of cargo, theft and non-delivery, bad weather, all add substantially to the potential for loss or damage during transit and storage.

Many shippers are misled into relying onto the carrier to pay for losses in transit. Law and limitations restrict the liability of the carrier. Most carriers are not responsible for losses which are unforseeable and beyond their control.

There is a genuine need for cargo insurance. Havrico Insurance has built up an expertise and experience in cargo insurance.
