Cargo Insurance Services: Comprehensive Guide by Red Flag Freight Forwarding

Introduction

Shipping goods across oceans, through the air and overland exposes cargo to numerous risks—rough handling, collisions, theft and natural disasters, to name a few. Without proper insurance, these risks can lead to significant financial losses. Red Flag Freight Forwarding works with trusted insurers to offer cargo insurance solutions that protect your goods throughout the supply chain.Contact Us

Marine Cargo Insurance

This policy covers goods shipped by sea. It typically protects against natural disasters such as hurricanes and typhoons, theft, fire, ship sinking or capsizing and general average situations where all parties share losses from a sacrifice made for the common good. Marine cargo insurance is essential for businesses that rely on maritime transport to move their products.

Inland Transit Insurance

For goods transported by truck, rail or other land routes, inland transit insurance covers risks such as traffic accidents, theft, fire and damage during loading or unloading. This coverage is vital for domestic and cross‑border overland shipments.

Air Cargo Insurance

Air cargo insurance is designed for goods traveling by air. It offers protection against aircraft crashes, cargo damage, theft and handling damages that occur during loading and unloading, providing peace of mind for high‑value or time‑sensitive shipments.

All‑Risks Insurance

All‑risks insurance provides broad protection against most perils associated with transporting goods, including natural disasters, theft, fire and accidental damage. Although this policy offers extensive coverage, it may exclude certain events such as wear and tear, inherent vice and war or terrorism risks.

Named Perils Insurance

Named perils insurance covers only those risks specifically listed in the policy—such as fire, theft, collision or certain weather events. This option can be cost‑effective for businesses that want to insure against specific threats without paying for broader coverage. Understanding the policy terms is essential to ensure critical risks are covered.

Warehouse Insurance

This policy protects goods stored in warehouses against risks like fire, flood, theft, natural disasters and vandalism. Warehouse insurance helps businesses mitigate potential losses during the storage phase of the supply chain, ensuring goods are safe until they are shipped or distributed.

Carrier’s Liability Insurance

Carrier’s liability insurance covers the legal liability of transportation companies for loss or damage to goods while in their care. It typically protects against damages resulting from negligence, accidents, handling errors and contractual obligations. This coverage is crucial for carriers to manage their financial exposure and fulfill legal responsibilities.

Logistics Liability Insurance

Logistics liability insurance protects logistics service providers against losses stemming from handling errors, storage risks, transportation risks and third‑party claims. It offers comprehensive coverage for businesses involved in warehousing, distribution and multimodal shipping.
