Cargo insurance protects your goods during transit, whether by sea, air, or land. Without proper insurance coverage, a single incident could result in devastating financial losses for your business.

Types of Coverage

All-Risk Coverage provides the broadest protection against physical loss or damage from any external cause.
Named Perils covers specific risks like fire, collision, and theft.
Warehouse-to-Warehouse protects goods from the point of origin to final destination.

How Much Does It Cost?

Premiums typically range from 0.5% to 2% of the cargo value, depending on the type of goods, route, and coverage level chosen.
