Premium Insurance Coverage

Maritime Agencies understands the importance of Insurance when it comes to shipping International Freight. We provide comprehensive Insurance for all Marine, Air, Rail, or Intermodal Freight Shipments and are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality, All-Risk Insurance to meet their needs. Although the term “Marine Cargo Insurance” is sometimes used, Maritime Agencies actually includes cover for the land transit commencing from the moment the goods leave storage up until they arrive at the final warehouse. We also offer Warehouse Insurance if your company requires Warehouse Services.

Exporters and Export Partners will find trying to recover losses from Carriers to be very difficult and time consuming, especially without Insurance. Even if you are able to prove that the carrier is at fault, they are only liable for $9.07 per pound on Air Freight shipments and $500 per Ocean Freight shipping unit. The best way for you to protect both your financial interests and cargo is with "All-Risk" Insurance Coverage.

All commodities on both Air and Ocean Transport are covered at very competitive rates. In the rare instance that a claim is needed, our experienced staff will assure that your claim is filled promptly for immediate payment.
