Cargo Insurance Expertise
Insure the Cargo. Define the Cover. Protect Its Value.
Cargo can be exposed to loss or damage while moving between origin and destination. Transglobal arranges cargo insurance around the goods, declared value, transport mode and journey to provide appropriate cover for the shipment.

-
Cargo & Value Details: Commodity, packing and declared value needed for insurance placement
-

Required Cover: Insurance requirements considered according to the goods and nature of the shipment

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your Cargo Insurance questions
Not necessarily. A freight forwarder's liability and cargo insurance are different. The extent of any liability can also be subject to contractual terms and applicable conventions. Customers should establish whether separate cargo insurance is required before the goods move.
The basis of valuation depends on the insurance terms arranged. The commercial value of the goods and other allowable costs may be considered. The correct shipment value and supporting commercial information should be declared when arranging cover.
It depends on the cover arranged. Some policies may provide warehouse-to-warehouse protection across specified stages of the transit, subject to policy terms, exclusions and the insured journey. The intended origin and destination should therefore be declared accurately.
Insurers may require the commodity, value, packing, origin, destination, transport mode and other shipment details. Additional information can be required depending on the goods, route or level of cover being requested.
Report the loss or damage promptly and preserve relevant evidence. Depending on the circumstances and policy requirements, supporting records may include transport documents, commercial documents, photographs, delivery records and details showing the nature and extent of the loss.
