Join Harry Ocean as he neurotically navigates the wavy waters of cargo importing and exporting in "What the Freight?!?"

What the Freight Marine Cargo Insurance 1 Marine Cargo Insurance 2 Marine Cargo Insurance 3

 

The Moral of the Story is to always purchase Marine Cargo Insurance.  For most goods, 1.5% of the value can secure ALL RISK Coverage.  A few exceptions would be:

  • Automobiles
  • Ceramics, Chinaware, Glassware
  • Marble, Granite
  • ...

Goods such as these have different surcharges or deductibles attached to them.

If you are considering purchasing Marine Cargo Insurance feel free to review our guide:

I picked up your "What the Freight?" cartoon on LinkedIn, it is great! If you want to make cargo insurance a profit center for your operation, maybe I can help. My relationship with TT Club of London may be able to get you some great rates. Let me know.  
 
 
 
Thanks!
