Shippers generally need little convincing of the need to protect their investment in the
goods they are moving.
Interport Cargo Services relies on the expertise of our insurance broker
which is equally owned by two of Australia’s largest and most respected insurers.
Established in 1982 it is now widely regarded as Australia’s leading marine insurance
organisation with a worldwide network of agents for all your marine and transit insurance
needs.
A point well worth considering is to import on C&F (cost and freight) and to arrange
marine insurance in Australia. An importer who imports on C.I.F. (cost, insurance and
freight) will be paying a premium in the C.I.F. invoice price. The importer has no control
over and often no knowledge of the amount of this marine insurance premium charge as well
as the inability to arrange the policy conditions to meet their requirements.
It is advisable to insure your cargo to avoid the possibility of having to contribute a
percentage of costs if a "General Average" is called on a ship. A contribution
may be required from all consignors with cargo on board if the ship has been damaged on
its voyage and requires repairs, or if cargo has to be disposed for the welfare of the
vessel.
