If you are an exporter of goods, no matter where to, or what the goods are, there is always an element of danger involved. You may manufacture goods perfectly, yet when you ship them overseas you hand them over to a third party. From the moment that they leave your factory or warehouse they are in the care of someone else.

Now that third party will take every precaution to ensure that your goods arrive at the destination in as perfect condition as they left, but we are living in the real world, and accidents can and do happen. And it is not always accidents. Sadly, in the 21st century, we live in a world where there are quite a number of people who would prefer not to work but would rather steal for a living, (no doubt while helping themselves to state handouts because they “can’t get a job”). We don’t want to become involved in politics, but at the same time we have to accept that these people do exist. So your goods can suffer from a number of problems when being transported.

This is why you need international shipping insurance when shipping your goods abroad. But the question is: what is the right insurance for your goods? The fact is that the insurance market can become very complicated when it comes to international shipping. Do you need warehouse to warehouse insurance? Total loss only? All risk insurance? Single coverage? Open coverage? Named perils? General average coverage?

When you start looking at it like that, you can begin to see that insuring your cargo in transit is not as straightforward as it might seem.

This is why you need The Insurance Broker to advise you and to find the best policy for you at the lowest possible price. The Insurance Broker is based in Longridge in Lancashire and has been a specialist in marine cargo insurance since 2001, providing insurance to businesses, freight forwarders, and individuals as well.

Over the years, The Insurance Broker has built up a total understanding of its’ clients’ needs when shipping overseas, and the company knows how to tailor a policy to your specific requirements. The insurance market is vast, so if you go online and start looking for insurance on your own, you are very likely to uncover the ideal policy for your needs. What you require is insurance with a sound company that covers all your requirements at the lowest possible price. That is just common sense. Unless you have the sort of experience that The Insurance Broker does, that is rather like finding a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, even if you did find the same policy that The Insurance Broker would recommend, you would pay the same fees. As a broker, The Insurance Broker earns a commission from the insurance company, so the insurance company actually makes less than if you went direct.

However, that is not to say that The Insurance Broker favours any particular company because it has its’ own reputation to consider. The Insurance Broker will always recommend the policy that is best for the client – that’s you.
