Cargo

Goods in transit - CARGO

Cargo shipments are generally safe and secure, but as with unforeseen events, things can sometimes go wrong during the transport of goods. Cargo insurance is the most common method used to protect the value of your goods from physical damage, theft, or general average. The insurance covers any goods and cargo, subject to import, export or re-exports and the material interest related thereto, while being in transit, against any loss, damage and expenses incurred on occurrence of an insured event, as well as also risks and expenses, related to transportation of goods on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria.
