Cargo insurance

We strongly advise our customers to make an insurance for their cargo, which we provide through a subscription policy with a leading insurance company.

The insurance premium is a small amount that can save you many losses and commitments – from partial damage to total destruction of goods, theft, rescue costs, and more.

• The maximum liability of the carrier by road and by sea does not exceed the value of the cargo.
• The carrier is not responsible in case of force majeure.

Unless the goods are destroyed, cargo insurance is also necessary when a GENERAL EMERGENCY has occurred, and ship rescue and general cargo costs have been incurred. In the case of a General Emergency, the owner of the goods owes a solidary compensation proportionate to the shipowner’s invoiced value. This obligation is covered by the cargo insurance.

If there is no cargo insurance, the owner of the goods must actually pay the shipowner the amount covering his solidarity obligation in order to receive his goods.
