Maersk has teamed up with Zurich Insurance Plc (Zurich) to bring Maersk Cargo Insurance, a product to protect customers goods against physical loss or damage.

A customers’ cargo can be exposed to various risks while in transit and Maersk Cargo Insurance covers goods from the time they are first moved for loading until the completion of unloading at destination, from and to almost every country in the world. Regardless the transport or carrier used, customers can relax knowing their shipment is insured from door-to-door, and from departure to arrival.

As another step in this direction, we are now expanding our product offering and adding cargo insurance to our portfolio which our customers are able to add to their booking seamlessly online, something that is currently not available in our industry.
