Cargo Insurance
Cargo insurance protects the owner of the goods against financial risks, such as loss, theft or other damage to the owner of the goods. This insurance covers any new or used type of transported asset, where liability is borne by the cargo owner and/or the carrier designated by the cargo owner. It is intended for local and international transportation.
