Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our cargo insurance services.
Carrier liability and cargo insurance differ significantly in several critical ways: Carrier liability is the limited legal responsibility that transportation providers (ocean carriers, airlines, trucking companies) have for cargo in their custody. It is governed by international conventions (like the Hague-Visby Rules for ocean freight) or domestic regulations that severely restrict compensation. These limitations typically include: Financial caps far below the actual value of goods (often just $2-3 per kg for air freight). Numerous exclusions for events beyond the carrier's control (weather, strikes, etc.). Burdensome requirements to prove carrier negligence. Complex claim filing deadlines and procedures. Time-consuming resolution processes often taking months. In contrast, cargo insurance provides: Coverage based on the full declared value of your goods. Protection against a comprehensive range of risks (depending on policy type). No need to prove carrier fault or negligence. Significantly fewer exclusions than carrier liability. Much higher compensation limits appropriate to your cargo value. Streamlined claims processes with faster resolution. Without proper cargo insurance, shippers often recover only a small fraction of their loss under carrier liability provisions. For example, if a container with goods valued at $100,000 is lost at sea, carrier liability might limit compensation to just $5,000-10,000, while cargo insurance would cover the full declared value (minus any applicable deductible). This fundamental difference makes cargo insurance essential for protecting the true value of your shipments.
