Austbrokers Comsure is a market leader for Freight Forwarders Liability Insurance. Policies are tailored to individual company’s needs no matter how big or small protecting your liability.
Freight Forwarders are an integral part of our Australian supply chain, and maritime trade. Within this, there are an array of liabilities and risks which are unique to this business activity.
The Industry has faced numerous cases involving cargo loss, damage, abandonment, fraud, and so forth. Consequently Transport Lines, Customers and Regulatory Bodies (such as ports) look to the Freight Forwarders to resolve issues and ultimately, they can be held liable for incidents. Freight Forwarders take on the duty of care for their client goods. This prescribed duty includes inherent risks, and can make the Freight Forwarders vulnerable for possible issues occurring during the delivery.
Therefore, ensuring you have the right protection through Austbroker Comsure’s Freight Forwarders Liability insurance package is vital. We work with you to ensure the policy protects and cover your business activities.
Failure to take out the correct Freight Forwarders Liability Insurance cover, can leave your business in a potentially damaging situation if the transportation of the clients goods end badly.
