Fright Liability Insurance
Without freight liability insurance you may actually be liable for the damage or loss of other people’s goods thanks to something called General Average. Customers whose cargo survives a voyage could find themselves open to compensate others whose cargo was abandoned to protect the cargo vessel.
Who Needs Cargo & Freight Cover?
If you are transporting goods by road, rail, air or sea you are responsible for insuring them. Shipments can become lost or damaged and your carrier won’t compensate you for the full value of your cargo if something happens to it. All carriers are legally obliged to carry limited cover Enquire carrier liability. They are usually only liable to compensate you a lump sum up to a certain limit. This is why it’s important to have transport, freight and cargo insurance to cover the full value of your shipment.
