Goods in transit face a particularly high risk of loss or damage.
Free first consultation →The problem
Theft, accident, fire, weather damage: goods in transit face a wide range of risks. Standard freight contracts limit carriers' liability considerably, and when something goes wrong companies are usually left carrying most of the loss.
Our solution
We find the right goods in transit cover for your logistics, whether a single-shipment or turnover policy, domestic or international, for your own vehicles or third-party logistics. We pay particular attention to the clauses on scope of cover and the value limit per consignment.
Book an appointment →Worked example
Example: a 5 kg parcel of smartphones. The carrier is liable by weight, not by value.
The hard facts
8.33 SDR/kg
is the carrier's statutory liability, only around €10 per kilogram.
Full value of the goods
Goods in transit cover pays the real value rather than by weight.
Regardless of fault
It pays for acts of God and accidents that were nobody's fault.
Packaging matters
Inadequate packaging is a common reason for carriers to reject a claim.
Worth knowing
By law the carrier is liable for only about 8.33 SDR per kilogram. With expensive, lightweight goods that is next to nothing.
Goods in transit cover pays the actual value of the goods, not a flat rate by weight.
It pays for acts of God and blameless accidents too, whoever was at fault.
Inadequate packaging is a common reason for rejection. Packing things properly protects the claim.
