Why would a company need Chubb’s Ocean Cargo insurance? Consider the following scenario:
A cargo of linens arrives at its final insured destination on a Friday evening. The following morning when the warehouse personnel arrive to unload the cargo, they discover the vehicle containing the linens is gone. The cost of the lost linens totals $110,000. Chubb’s Ocean Cargo policy responds to this loss.
