Cargo Insurance

When transporting cargo, the merchandise must be insured from origin to destination (door to door) to mitigate unforeseen costs and future surprises.

By analyzing the details of each shipment, we make sure to offer the best coverage to afront a wide range of risks, faced by the cargo while in transit.

At SCL we offer cargo insurance for almost any type of merchandise including project cargo (heavy and oversized), cars, machinery (used or new), theft-sensitive merchandise, among others.

Lowest deductibles on the market

The deductible is the amount for which the insurer will not respond and is always applicable, in all losses and / or claims. It’s usually a percentage of the total value of the shipment. There may be different deductibles that apply depending on the risk, you can have for example, a deductible for Ordinary Transit Risks and a different, specialized one that covers: Robbery, theft or vanishment of merchandise. We negotiate the lowest deductibles on the market so that in the event of a claim your recovery is the maximum possible.

Basic Coverage

The basic coverage refers to the Ordinary Risks of Transit (ORT) that may include, in general terms, the loss and material damage caused directly to the merchandise, in any method of transportation. Ocean Freight: Fire, lightning, explosion, stranding, sinking, collision, loss of merchandise in loading, transshipment or unloading maneuvers, sweeping, general average act (eject), captain or crew barrage, sinking or breakage. Inland freight: Bridges collapse, derailment, collision, overturning of the railroad or transport vehicle. Air freight: Fall or collision.

Additional Coverage

We also have additional coverage, such as: Total or partial theft, wetting and oxidation, contamination, stains, breakage, cracking, scratching, denting, bending, chipping and spillage, up to All-Risk.

All-Risk Coverage

The All-Risk coverage refers to the fact that the goods described in the policy are covered against any loss or direct physical damage suffered due to an event, provided that, it is sudden and unforeseen and occurs during the normal course of the trip between the origin and destination established in the particular conditions of the policy.

Door-Door Coverage

It is important, when contracting insurance for the transport of goods, door-to-door coverage is sought. It guarantees that the merchandise will remain covered through the entire time of the shipment, from origin of collection to destination. We emphasize this, since there are port-to-port or airport-to-airport coverages and it’s not the same, as there are many interactions with the merchandise left uncovered. That is why in national or international shipments we recommend getting the cargo insurance that covers door to door, to protect the merchandise throughout the supply chain.

Annual and Per-Shipment policies

Annual policies automatically cover all shipments carried out within the period of the year in which the policy is valid. Per-Shipment policies are those that exclusively cover the shipment and the specific conditions for the merchandise that have been contracted within a shipment.

By your side at the time of your claim

When an unfortunate event, subject to a claim under your contracted policy takes place, we will be by your side to support, act and comply with the report and claim. It is pivotal to start the recovery process for the value of the insured goods as soon as possible. The claim notice will be filled out and delivered to the insurer immediately and in writing to start the claim course.
