FAQs
1. Why consider cargo insurance?
Carrier liability is limited and may not equal the commercial value of the goods. Cargo insurance can provide broader financial protection for covered loss or damage.
2. Can you cover domestic and international shipments?
Coverage options are available for eligible domestic and international cargo moving by ocean, air or road.
3. Does Sealink have to manage the freight?
Not necessarily. Eligible shipments may be insured even when Sealink does not manage the entire transportation movement.
4. What information is needed for a quote?
Typically the commodity, insured value, packing, origin, destination, transport mode and shipment dates are required.
