Freight & Logistic FAQs

Does a Freight Liability policy insure the goods being moved?

A Freight Liability policy will not insure the actual goods being transported (and/or in storage), as would be the case under a Marine Cargo policy, instead the Freight Liability policy will, in effect, insure the logistics company's contractual liabilities in connection with the transit and/or storage of third-party customers' goods.

We can arrange cover for many specialist, high-risk or high-value cargoes that Freight/Logistics companies transport.

Additionally, we can arrange cover for shipments travelling to most countries around the World, including those deemed high-risk, or those subject to sanctions. Subject to sanctions and compliance clearance of course!

If you are ever in doubt, please get in touch and we will be pleased to assist with your specific query.
