Comprehensive all-risk marine cargo insurance covering loss and damage door-to-door on ocean, air, and ground shipments. Competitive rates tailored to your commodity, trade lane, and risk profile.
Every international shipment faces real risks — storms at sea, rough handling at port, theft, container damage, and accidents in transit. Carrier liability is strictly limited by international convention, meaning most shippers recover only a fraction of their cargo's actual value when something goes wrong without their own insurance in place.
MyExpressFreight arranges comprehensive cargo insurance through leading marine insurers, giving you full replacement value coverage from the moment your goods leave the origin warehouse until they arrive safely at their final destination.
Many shippers assume that if a carrier damages their freight, the carrier pays. In reality, carrier liability is limited by law and contract — often to as little as $500 per container under US law or a few dollars per kilogram under international conventions.
Cargo insurance closes these gaps and ensures you recover your full commercial value — not the carrier's contractual minimum.
We offer coverage levels to fit every risk profile and budget — from comprehensive all-risk protection to more targeted named-perils policies.
The broadest available protection. Covers physical loss or damage to cargo from any external cause — including rough handling, water damage, theft, fire, collision, and sinking. Recommended for most commercial shipments.
Covers only specific listed risks — typically fire, sinking, stranding, collision, and jettison. A more cost-effective option for lower-value or robust commodities where all-risk coverage is not warranted.
Covers only the total loss of the entire shipment — not partial damage. The most economical option, suited for bulk commodities and situations where the cost of partial loss claims is expected to be minimal.
Protects against general average contributions required when a vessel or carrier sacrifices part of a cargo to save the whole voyage. Without this coverage, even undamaged cargo can be held until a contribution is paid.
An annual blanket policy for high-volume shippers that automatically covers all shipments during the policy period. Eliminates the need to arrange coverage shipment-by-shipment and often results in better rates.
Specialized coverage for high-value, oversized, or one-of-a-kind cargo — machinery, industrial equipment, art, and project goods. Tailored terms, agreed value, and survey requirements as needed.
Different commodities carry different risk profiles, and cargo insurance rates and terms are tailored accordingly. MyExpressFreight arranges coverage for all major commodity types shipped internationally.
Arranging cargo insurance through MyExpressFreight is straightforward — we handle everything so you can focus on your shipment, not the paperwork.
When the unexpected happens, MyExpressFreight is in your corner — guiding you through every step of the claims process to achieve the fastest possible settlement.
Notify us as soon as loss or damage is discovered. Prompt notice is critical — delays can affect your ability to recover. We file the initial claim notice with the insurer on your behalf.
We tell you exactly what documents are needed: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, survey report, carrier damage notice, and photos. We help compile the complete claim file.
For significant losses, a marine surveyor inspects and documents the damage. We coordinate surveyor appointment at the destination port or delivery point to protect your recovery rights.
We follow the claim through from filing to payment, communicating with the insurer on your behalf and ensuring your settlement reflects the full covered value of your loss.
"We had a container sustain water damage on a transpacific shipment. MyExpressFreight had the claim filed within 24 hours, coordinated the surveyor, and we had a full settlement in three weeks. Their support made an awful situation manageable."
"The vessel carrying our cargo declared general average. Without the cargo insurance MyExpressFreight arranged, we would have been stuck paying a contribution to get our own undamaged goods released. Invaluable coverage."
"We ship high-value electronics from Asia monthly. The open cargo policy MyExpressFreight set up gives us automatic coverage on every shipment at a rate that's lower than what we were paying per-shipment before. Great solution."
"Our letter of credit required a specific insurance certificate format. MyExpressFreight issued it same day — correctly worded, with all required clauses. Our bank accepted it without question."
"Industrial machinery worth $400,000 was damaged during loading in China. MyExpressFreight's team guided us through every step — surveyor, documentation, insurer communication — and we recovered the full insured value."
"We used to go direct to an insurer. Now we use MyExpressFreight because they understand our shipments, get competitive rates, and are actually there to help when a claim happens. Worth every cent."
