Business insurance
Insurance for Freight Forwarding Services
Freight forwarding carries serious liability because you are responsible for other people's goods through a complex chain. Marine cargo and freight liability cover protect against loss or damage in transit, while professional indemnity responds to errors like a misclassification or a missed cut-off that costs a client. Public liability covers your premises and any warehousing, and workers' compensation is required if you employ staff.
Because a single container can be worth far more than your fee on it, getting liability limits right is essential — your exposure is the cargo's value, not your margin. Premiums for a business this size often sit around the ~$3,500 mark, and with many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cargo and liability limits before the new financial year.
Common questions
Freight Forwarding Services — insurance questions
What cover does a freight forwarder really need?
Freight liability and marine cargo cover for goods in transit, professional indemnity for documentation and classification errors, public liability for premises, and workers' compensation if you have staff. Your exposure is the cargo's value, so liability limits need to reflect that, not just your fee.
Am I liable if a client's documentation error delays a container?
Errors in classification or paperwork can lead to costly delays and claims, and professional indemnity is designed to respond to those mistakes. Reviewing your limits and exclusions before your 30 June renewal helps ensure a documentation slip does not become a personal cost.
