International cargo transportation always involves risks. The experience and professionalism of logisticians play an important role in minimizing them, but cannot completely eliminate unforeseen situations. In the event of damage or loss of goods, insurance remains the only effective mechanism for compensating losses.
Some customers try to reduce transportation costs by refusing insurance, hoping for a favorable outcome. However, in the event of force majeure, financial losses can significantly exceed the cost of the insurance policy.
The cost of the policy depends on a number of factors, including:
- type and characteristics of the cargo (weight, dimensions, etc.);
- the cost of transportation;
- quality and type of packaging;
- route, duration and method of transportation;
- seasonality and weather conditions;
- features and technical condition of the vehicle.
Based on these parameters, an individual insurance rate is calculated for each client. By choosing insurance, cargo owners can be sure of financial security even in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
