What is Cargo Insurance?
Cargo insurance provides financial protection for goods while they are being transported by sea, air, or land. It covers loss or damage to cargo that may occur due to accidents, theft, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events during transit.
Cargo insurance is an essential part of international and domestic logistics, as it helps businesses protect their financial interests and reduce risk during transportation.
How Cargo Insurance Works
Cargo insurance begins with assessing the type, value, and mode of transportation of the goods. Based on this information, an insurance policy is issued that specifies the coverage, risks insured, and claim conditions.
If cargo is lost or damaged during transit, a claim can be filed under the insurance policy. After verification, compensation is provided as per the policy terms.
At MLS Group, cargo insurance arrangements are coordinated to ensure appropriate coverage and smooth claim support when required.

Why Cargo Insurance Is Important
Cargo insurance protects businesses from financial losses caused by unexpected events during transit. It provides peace of mind and ensures that shipments are financially secured, even in challenging transportation conditions.
Without cargo insurance, businesses may face significant losses if goods are damaged or lost.
Real-World Example of Cargo Insurance
