Should I insure my cargo?
Yes, it is always wise to insure your freight (or have it insured).
During transport, damage may occur. The liability of carriers and freight forwarders is usually limited. This may mean that the cargo stakeholder, i.e. you, is not fully compensated for the damage suffered. To avoid risks, you can take out insurance with us. Want to know what the costs are?
