Cargo Insurance

Henning Harders can arrange all your insurance requirements through it's close working relationship with it's underwriters.

Henning Harders offers competitive ocean and air marine cargo insurance.We take care of the paperwork involved in marine insurance, including certificates, reports and other documentation required.

Since we handle your shipments, we have most of the paperwork needed when filing any claims. From filing the claim until the final cheque is paid we are there to assist our customers.

Two major forms of cover should be considered by importers and exporters:

  1. A voyage policy covers cargo for a single trip described in the policy.
  2. An open cargo policy – essentially a reporting form policy that covers all goods shipped or received by the insured during the term of the policy.

The insured periodically pays premiums to the insurer based on reports from the insured of covered shipments. This is better suited to the needs of an insured who frequently ships or receives goods overseas. The open cargo policy also permits the insured to prepare "special policies" or certificate of insurance as may be required in ocean commerce.
