East Yorkshire Insurance Brokers

Cargo & Hauliers Insurance Broker Hull

Knowing the correct marine cargo or hauliers’ insurance cover for your business can be complex, thankfully East Yorkshire Insurance Brokers based in Hull are here to help.

Why do you need Cargo Insurance

If you’re a wholesaler, a manufacturer or a similar business that sends goods by post, truck, sea, or air you need to insure your goods in case they are damaged or lost.

You may pay a haulage company to move your goods from A –B, however they are unlikely to insure the goods for their full value.

In the event of a loss, without Good in Transit / Cargo insurance you could be left with a large bill to replace the damaged stock. A Cargo insurance policy will pay to replace your lost or damaged stock.

Why do you need Hauliers Liability Insurance?

A haulage contractor has limited liability regarding his goods in transit, the majority of haulage contactors will trade on specific conditions of haulage, e.g. RHA 2020 and CMR conditions.

This limits their liability for the goods they are carrying, however, a haulage contractor would still have some liability for their goods in the event of damage or loss caused to them.

Although some policies may allow you to insure on an ‘all risks’ basis, this can often be expensive and not necessarily required.

A Hauliers Liability policy will provide cover for this as well as public & employers’ liability.

What does Hauliers Liability cover?

In the event of a loss, hauliers’ liability will pay for damages or losses to goods in transit, subject to your sums insured

The policy can also be extended to include public liability to cover any injury or damage caused to third parties, whilst also extending to cover employers’ liability for injuries to staff.
