THE RIGHT COVERAGE. ACCURATE DECLARATIONS. TIMELY SUPPORT.
In international transportation, evaluating the risks surrounding a shipment is just as important as moving the cargo itself. Damage, loss, theft, water exposure, accidents and handling-related risks may vary depending on the mode of transport, routing, cargo characteristics and packaging.
Carrier liability and cargo insurance are not the same. A carrier’s liability may be subject to specific limits and exclusions under international conventions and transport documents. Appropriate insurance coverage should therefore be arranged before the operation begins, taking into account the cargo’s actual value and the risks involved in transportation.
At Sdt Global Logistics, we coordinate cargo insurance arrangements through authorized insurance providers for ocean, air, road, rail and multimodal shipments. Based on the nature and commercial value of the cargo, packaging, routing, delivery terms and mode of transport, we support the evaluation of suitable coverage alternatives and monitor the policy and insurance certificate processes alongside the transportation operation.
OUR CAPABILITIES
• Cargo insurance arrangements for import, export and transit shipments
• Coverage for ocean, air, road, rail and multimodal transportation
• Single-shipment and annual open-cover policy alternatives
• Evaluation of broad and limited coverage options
• Insurance coordination for project, heavy, high-value and special cargo
• Review of cargo value, freight and other insurable costs
• Coordination of policies, insurance certificates and shipping documents
• Prompt claim notification in the event of damage or loss
• Support with surveys, claim files and required documentation
• Communication follow-up between the insurer, surveyor, carrier and cargo owner
WHEN DAMAGE OCCURS, THE PROCESS SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR.
When damage occurs, taking the correct steps without delay is essential for the claim process to proceed properly. The loss must be reported promptly, the carrier must be notified with the appropriate reservations, and photographs, survey reports, commercial documents and transport documents must be prepared completely.
We do more than coordinate the issuance of the policy. In the event of a claim, we maintain communication between the relevant parties and support the progression of the file with the correct documentation.
Because the true value of insurance appears not merely when a policy is issued, but when the coverage is structured correctly and the process is managed properly when it matters most.
