Why Cargo Insurance?
We suggest Cargo insurance to all the companies and individuals who want safe shipping of goods. Cargo Insurance protects load against all risks of physical loss or damage on your shipment during sea, land or air shipping. This is an essential aspect of international trade. If you learn about laws and regulations in international shipping, you will see that all carriers must have a minimum amount of insurance, known as carrier liability.
But, carrier liability isn’t enough. It is a limited coverage, so your cargo isn’t protected in case of natural disasters or vehicle accidents. You can ask for cargo insurance to protect your goods from damage, loss or theft while in transit. Until goods reach the buyer they are protected and insured while they are in transportation or the warehouse Lebanon.
