Freight Insurance

While taking the greatest of care we are unfortunately not immune to loss or damage which will occasionally happen from time to time.  There are a multitude of reasons for why cargo insurance would be recommended and it’s even been noted among the industry that it should be as standard for cargo to be insured.  A few of these reasons would be as below:

  • Major ocean vessel, aircraft or road accident.
  • Minor accidents due to loading / unloading / general handling.
  • Theft – Rare but can occur
  • Lost cargo – Sometimes cargo does get lost in transit, not a common occurrence but can happen
  • Water Damage

Why Is Freight Insurance Essential?

No matter how carefully your shipment is handled, accidents can and do happen. Without freight insurance, you’re left exposed to financial loss. Our freight and cargo insurance provides full peace of mind, ensuring you’re protected against:

  • Damage during loading or unloading
  • Theft or pilferage
  • Water damage
  • Fire or natural disasters
  • Lost cargo during transit


Whether your goods are transported by road, rail, air or sea, our insurance coverage ensures you stay protected from the unexpected.

Cargo Insurance for Commercial Customers

Commercial shipments can represent a significant financial investment, particularly when businesses are moving high-value stock, machinery, components or large quantities of goods internationally. Power Forwarding can arrange cargo insurance for commercial customers using air, sea and road freight, helping protect the value of goods against covered risks while they are in transit. Cover can be considered for one-off consignments as well as businesses shipping goods regularly, with the appropriate option depending on the type, value and journey of the cargo. Our team can discuss the shipment with you and help arrange suitable cargo insurance alongside your freight booking.

What Does Cargo Insurance Cover?

Our cargo insurance policies are designed to meet a wide range of needs. We work with trusted insurers to arrange cargo cover for:

  • Full container loads (FCL)
  • Less than container loads (LCL)
  • Break bulk and project cargo
  • Dangerous goods (subject to agreement)


This cover protects your shipment from the moment it leaves the origin warehouse to the point it reaches the final destination. We’ll help you insure the actual value of your goods so your business isn’t left exposed.

Professional Freight Forwarding Insurance

Nearly all carriers are generally limited in monetary terms due to their terms and conditions and as such should you send your cargo without insurance you risk a heavy loss should worst case scenario happen.

The majority of shipments across the UK are sent without insurance which costs companies / individuals hugely when damages / loss occurs which is almost baffling when you consider the price of insuring cargo.

Cargo is very cheap considering the peace of mind and cover you receive on your shipment. It covers from door to door for all damages or loss so it’s well worth the money. There is nothing to pay up front, we simply add the insurance fee to your invoice when we send it.
