MARINE CARGO INSURANCE FOR GOODS IN TRANSIT

Prior to making your marine cargo insurance decision, Kenter Logistics would like you to read the following information which summarizes your option to insure your goods and protect your financial interests or what your recovery options may be in the event of loss when based solely upon liability limitations within the transportation supply chain. We work with leading marine cargo insurance brokers with coverage worldwide.

Shippers Interest–All Risk Insurance

The best way to protect your financial interests in your cargo is to purchase all-risk insurance. This marine cargo insurance and coverage relieves you of financial exposure from physical loss or damage to your goods in transit. It basically insures the cargo against all risks of physical loss or damage from external causes subject to specific policy terms, conditions and exclusions. This coverage applies to ocean, air and truck shipments.

Carrier Liability Limitations

Shippers are often unaware of carrier’s limits in paying for claims for loss or damage to goods in transit. Law or tariff restrictions limit the liability of most carriers and the amount recoverable is usually much less than the actual claim amount (see below). Under certain marine cargo insurance policies because carriers are not responsible for losses which are beyond their control including Acts of God, it is really important on high value or time sensitive cargo to review your marine cargo insurance coverage options annually.
