Ocean shipments can face impact, moisture, handling damage, delays, and unexpected incidents, so prevention and insurance should be planned together.

Identify cargo exposure

• Review cargo value, fragility, packaging, transit distance, and handling points before shipment.
• Keep loading, sealing, and cargo-condition records for higher-value or sensitive goods.

Understand insurance terms

• Review coverage, exclusions, deductibles, and claim-document requirements rather than comparing premium alone.
• Disclose special cargo characteristics before coverage is arranged.

Respond to incidents correctly

• Preserve photos, delivery exceptions, survey information, and transport documents.
• Follow notification deadlines under the insurance policy and transport contract.
