Cargo Insurance That Protects You From Product Damage & Loss.
It is reported that 30% of all freight damage in transit is unavoidable, and most losses occur on the way to or from the ports. The FBI also estimates that up to $30 billion in cargo theft occurs every year. These causes of loss, and much more, are fully covered by Lake Shore Global Solutions’ cargo insurance coverage. Without cargo insurance, you may only recover a small portion of what your cargo is worth, but our company can provide maximum protection of your freight.
The cargo insurance offered by LSGS provides the proper coverage necessary for your shipments. We understand that accidents happen, and we want to protect you from unforeseen circumstances, which can often include:
- Fire (unless caused by fault or knowledge of the carrier)
- Acts of God (heavy weather, earthquake, lightning, hurricane, tornado, etc.)
- Acts of war
- Acts of public enemies
- Strikes, riots, & civil commotions
- Insufficient packing or inadequate marks
