Transport insurance
Whether by land, sea or air, goods are exposed to a wide range of risks during transport. Damage or loss can have significant financial consequences, particularly in the case of international deliveries involving multiple transhipments. Transport insurance offers individual protection tailored to insured values, compensation limits and geographical coverage.
Extended solutions such as transport liability or freight forwarding insurance additionally cover the liability of carriers and freight forwarders. Specific requirements such as the protection of works of art, trade fair equipment or sample collections can also be taken into account.
Examples of damage
Damage caused by improper handling during transhipment
During multimodal transport, a container with sensitive machinery was loaded incorrectly. Improper handling caused considerable damage to the goods, which was only discovered at the destination. The transport insurance covered the costs of repair and replacement of the goods.
Loss due to theft during transport
On an international route, a lorry was broken into at a rest stop and part of the load – high-value electronic equipment – was stolen. Thanks to transport insurance, the financial losses were compensated and the damage was quickly settled.
Damage caused by storms at sea
A container carrying chemical raw materials was damaged in heavy seas. The goods were rendered unusable due to water ingress. The transport insurance provided financial compensation and also covered the disposal costs.
