Who we insure
- Importers and exporters
- Manufacturers
- Wholesalers

Chubb provides ocean cargo insurance even in difficult or unique situations. We have insured such diverse cargoes as widgets

Bulk cargoes
Containerised cargoes

Project cargoes and consequential losses
To cover potential causes of loss such as:
- Fire

- Heavy weather
- General average & salvage charges
- Piracy
- War and strikes (including terrorism)
- Road traffic accident
- Theft and non-delivery
- Accidental damage
Loss control
Our client was suffering non-delivery losses on imports emanating from Thailand. Utilising our loss control network, we arranged
a visit to the manufacturing site, which uncovered a number of packing and documentation deficiencies. Chubb loss control
implemented a training course for staff at the site and amended the packing procedure, which led to a noticeable reduction
in losses
Global network
A large prospect was looking to purchase a global policy which would provide local servicing in certain territories. Utilising
our multi-national risk group, Chubb provided policy documents in the local language, as well as tax and premium collection,
thereby delivering a complete, legal insurance solution.
Claims & recoveries
Following a fire aboard a vessel, a large proportion of insured cargo was damaged. Chubb arranged for the vessel to be arrested,
which meant we could negotiate recovery from shipowners. As a result, the loss record of our customer was protected. Had the
vessel been allowed to sail, the possibility of recovery would have been severely prejudiced.
