Who needs cargo insurance?

Essential protection for any business
that ships goods

If your business regularly sends or receives goods, cargo insurance protects you against unexpected financial losses during transit, regardless of who operates the transport.

๐ŸŒ

Importers & exporters

International trade means greater exposure: long routes, customs procedures and multiple handovers. A cargo policy protects your goods for the entire journey to destination.

๐Ÿญ

Manufacturers

Raw materials and finished products move between suppliers, factories and customers. Insurance ensures that a disruption in the supply chain does not trigger a financial crisis.

๐Ÿ›’

Wholesale & retail

Large volumes of goods arriving from suppliers and delivered to customers. An annual open policy automatically covers every shipment, no separate policy needed for each consignment.

๐Ÿ’ป

E-commerce businesses

Regular shipments of electronics, clothing or other high-value goods. Protection against theft, damage and mishandling during transit, from warehouse to customer's door.

๐Ÿš›

Logistics companies

Freight forwarders and logistics providers managing other companies' cargo. Cargo insurance alongside a CMR policy provides complete value protection for every consignment handled.

๐Ÿ’Š

Pharma & medical

Exceptionally sensitive, high-value goods with strict temperature and handling requirements. Specialised coverage for cold chain and sterile-environment shipments.

๐Ÿ“œ

Internationally recognised terms - Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC)

The cargo insurance policies arranged through Agento are based on the internationally recognised Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) issued by the Institute of London Underwriters. This ensures clear, universally accepted and legally robust coverage terms that are recognised by trade partners worldwide.

Real-world examples

Cargo insurance in practice

See how claims work in real situations - a comparison of outcomes with and without a cargo insurance policy.

โˆ’โ‚ฌ34,600
With policy: covered Without policy: full loss

Pallets lost at a cross-dock terminal

Four pallets went missing from a ceramic tile shipment routed to Germany: they appeared on the handover paperwork but never reached the consignee. The shortfall was worth โ‚ฌ34,600. With a policy in force the shipper recovers that amount and keeps the supply contract intact.

โˆ’โ‚ฌ41,000
With policy: covered Without policy: full loss

Fire at an intermediate warehouse

A consignment of textiles was held overnight at a carrier's transit warehouse in Lithuania when a fire broke out. The goods were worth โ‚ฌ41,000, yet the carrier's liability under CMR limits covered only part of it. A cargo policy makes up the difference in full.

โˆ’โ‚ฌ15,400
With policy: covered Without policy: full loss

Water ingress on a ro-ro ferry

During a storm crossing, water entered a trailer on the open deck and the welded steel structures inside began to corrode before discharge. The damaged parts had to be fabricated again at a cost of โ‚ฌ15,400. All-risks cover includes weather-related damage of this kind.

โˆ’โ‚ฌ7,900
With policy: covered Without policy: full loss

Load shifted due to weak lashing

A consignment of glazing units shifted inside the trailer under heavy braking because the straps were underrated. Roughly a third of the shipment broke - โ‚ฌ7,900. A cargo policy responds to this, whereas carrier liability cover frequently excludes it.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about cargo insurance

Cargo insurance covers losses resulting from destruction, damage, theft or robbery of goods during transit, transhipment or temporary storage. Depending on the selected coverage, it may also include natural perils, fire, explosion, moisture damage and cold chain breaks.
Yes. A policy can be issued for one specific consignment, stating the route and the declared value. Businesses shipping regularly usually find an annual declaration contract cheaper: each new consignment is reported automatically and the premium is calculated on actual turnover.
Yes. A cargo insurance policy can be arranged with worldwide coverage, applicable to road, sea and air shipments. The geographic scope of coverage is defined in the policy according to your specific routes and requirements.
The premium depends on several factors: type of goods (fragile, foodstuffs, electronics, hazardous materials), total value, mode of transport, route, scope of coverage and the chosen excess. A higher excess generally results in a lower premium.
A CMR policy covers the carrier's civil liability - it is the carrier's obligation towards the cargo owner. Cargo insurance, on the other hand, covers the actual value of the goods and is intended for the cargo owner (the shipper or consignee). Both policies complement each other and together provide complete transit protection.
Yes - even when transport is carried out by an external carrier, the cargo owner remains responsible for the value of their goods. A carrier's CMR liability is capped at SDR rates and may not cover the full value of the cargo. Cargo insurance protects your interests as the owner of the goods.
Yes - our service is completely free. We receive our remuneration directly from the insurers, so you only pay for the policy itself - with no additional fees, charges or hidden commissions.
