The transport process, by its very nature of transporting goods over long distances, necessarily involves the risk of damage to the goods. Everyone involved in transport is aware of this fact: from the shipper to the carriers to the consignee. Each of them takes great care to ensure that the consignment is protected against possible damage. The shipper ensures that the goods are securely packed. The shipper chooses reliable subcontractors and solutions that keep handling to a minimum. The carrier secures the goods during transport to ensure that they do not move and that nothing moves against them. The consignee has peace of mind.
So much for theory. In reality, a number of random factors can cause the goods to be damaged during transport, even if due care has been taken to secure the goods at every stage. This usually only ends with damage to the packaging, but sometimes the goods themselves can also be damaged.
The cargo insurance offered to our customers comes to the rescue here. This allows compensation to be obtained for damage at any stage of transport. It is often difficult to establish at which particular stage the damage occurred, so it is difficult to obtain compensation. In the case of cargo insurance, this situation is irrelevant, as the insurance covers the entire transport. In addition, our customers who decide to take out insurance also receive compensation for the loss of profit from the sale of the goods in question – the shipment is insured by us for 110% of its value. This not only allows you to recover your financial contribution, but also the potential profit from the further marketing of the goods. We take out insurance with a partner who specialises exclusively in the transport insurance sector, making it tailor-made, efficient and minimising formalities. We encourage you to take out additional insurance for the loads we will be transporting for you. Our forwarding specialists will answer any questions you may have concerning this option.
