Cargo Insurance

Risk mitigation is an essential element in managing a supply chain prudently. While proper packaging and stowage of cargo can reduce risks, they cannot totally eliminate the risk of damage or cover the risks of other losses. It is not simply enough to take out insurance coverage – you need the right coverage for the right circumstances.

To cover your cargo risks, you need professionals who understand the limitations on carrier liability for cargo loss including international standard rules governing cargo transportation and the cargo losses that carriers are exempt from. Our in-house experts can advise you on the correct Marine Insurance to cover theft and pilferage, fire, spoilage, infestation and contamination, weather exposure damage, handling damage, and losses resulting from terrorist acts and acts of war.

Customs Brokerage

The efficient movement of goods across borders is essential to the smooth operations of a supply chain. Our experienced customs brokerage network handles all your needs globally. Minimizing costs and time for customs clearance by integrating this with your other logistics and supply chain functions, our trusted experts navigate complex regulations and handle difficult activities such as duty drawbacks.
