Safe and secure on the move: transport insurance for industry, trading firms and freight forwarders

Professional transport companies as well as industrial companies and trading firms must protect themselves against a number of different risks so that if transport damage occurs, they do not face substantial losses that could threaten their survival:

• Transport accidents or damage to goods
• Theft
• Fire damage
• Incorrect dispatch or late delivery
• Piracy, terrorism or war
• Customs seizures
• Strikes

Tailored comprehensive transport insurance reliably protects companies and their employees – and therefore also their customers – against these risks and the resulting financial and material losses.
