Protect Your Assets with Marine and Transit Insurance
Insuring cargo is crucial for businesses importing to or exporting from Australia. Despite the presence of INCOTERMS® 2020 on commercial invoices, many sellers and purchasers lack a full understanding of these terms, leaving their goods at risk during transit.
Marine insurance and transit insurance is essential to protect goods as they travel across borders, providing financial security should unforeseen events occur.
Marine insurance and transit insurance is vital for safeguarding your goods from potential financial losses due to damage, theft, or loss during transit.
These essential coverages often take a backseat to discussions about price and delivery speed. Platinum® Marine Insurance™ and Platinum® Transit Insurance™ offer robust solutions to protect your cargo.
Managing Risks at Every Step
Air Cargo Journey – Shipping By Air
The journey involves several critical steps:
- Cargo is produced, packaged, and dispatched from the manufacturing site.
- It is transported to the airport terminal.
- The goods are loaded onto an aircraft and fly to their destination.
- Upon arrival, they are unloaded and stored in the airfreight terminal.
- Finally, the cargo is collected from the terminal and delivered to the intended recipient.
Securing Less than a Container Load (LCL) Shipments
Shipping by sea with LCL involves a complex series of steps:
- Goods are manufactured, packaged, and dispatched.
- Transported to the freight forwarder’s facility.
- Consolidated with other shipments into a single container.
- The container is shipped across the ocean.
- Once at the destination, it’s offloaded from the ship.
- Taken to an unpacking facility.
- Cargo is separated and prepared for collection.
- The LCL cargo is taken by a transport service.
- Delivered to the final destination.
Managing Full Container Load (FCL) Shipments
For FCL shipments, the steps are:
- Goods are produced and packed into a complete container.
- Transported to the port.
- Loaded onto a vessel.
- Shipped by sea to the target location.
- Unloaded upon arrival.
- Collected from the port for direct delivery or further unpacking.
- Received by the intended recipient.
