It is vital for all businesses involved in the import, export, transit and storage of goods to arrange appropriate cargo insurance, to protect them from the many perils that can befall the goods during transit by sea, air or on land.

Many importers leave the insurance to their supplier (i.e. CIF Terms of Sale) but this often ceases on arrival at the UK port and the cost can often be hidden in the total price of the goods. There is also a popular belief that the carrier has the goods insured but this is generally not the case; most carriers do not automatically insure goods but exclude or limit their liability to much less than the value of the goods involved - leaving the cargo owner to suffer the loss.

UNIQUE ALL RISKS COVER

Peter Lole & Co provide a comprehensive, bespoke "All Risks" cover which is backed by the security of Lloyd's of London or other first class insurers, on a "warehouse-to-warehouse" basis (including whilst loading and unloading).

Policies can be arranged on an annual basis without the need for individual declarations. We also cater for "one-off" shipments. Cover can be extended to include storage anywhere in the world (known as "Stockthroughput policies") and our unique wording has been specially written to provide many extras to the standard "All Risk" clauses, without the need to pay additional premiums.

SPECIALIST COVER

Cover can be arranged for any type of commodity and we are recognised as a leading broker for the carriage and storage of high risk goods, including mobile telephones.

We specialise in finding solutions for non-standard and special cargoes and are always acutely aware of the need to obtain the most appropriate cover at a competitive premium; continually scouring the markets to ensure clients receive the best terms available.
