Why You Should Consider Cargo InsuranceCargo insurance protects your business from any financial loss due to severe weather, fire, unexpected container damage or loss, vessel seizure, pirates, and more. Also, without cargo insurance, months and years of legal battles can pass before you are reimbursed for your losses, which may not necessarily happen.
The Risk is Solely YoursA common misconception among shippers is that the carrier is automatically liable for any issue because the incidents happen onboard their ship. Unfortunately, that is not the case, and that misunderstanding can be extremely costly. Generally, customers have no recourse for common issues like breakage, water damage, and severe weather, as well as more uncommon problems like fire damage, theft, explosion, or act of war.
Benefits of Purchasing Through OEC GroupYou are institutionally protected by an advocate with specialized knowledge of insurance, risk analysis, carrier operations, and the overall shipping process. Additionally, by partnering with an OEC insurer, you’ll have your own dedicated team of claim experts, insurers, and customer service agents working together with access to updated documentation and information. That collaboration will combine peace of mind and industry-low prices.
