Insure With Charterhouse Marine Cargo Insurance | Marine Freight Underwriters

Why Should I Take Out Insurance?

The last 40 years have seen huge changes in the way in which cargo is moved around the world; the container industry and its infrastructure is growing; the roll of intermediaries continues to evolve; terminals and ports are being built in new and existing locations; standards in the industry are being set higher; and the changes and growth in the industry expose operators of all size to greater risk.

At the same time business has become more litigious, and with it, legal costs can and do arise anywhere cargo can be moved to and from, with both settlement costs and legal expenses increasing. In such a specialised market we are able to provide Insurance to protect companies involved in the movement of cargo and equipment against legal liabilities arising out of the conduct of their business.
