Over the summer months, Zurich’s UKGI Marine Cargo team will be contacting brokers to facilitate presentations to support the launch of our innovative new
Freight Liability insurance product.
The new Marine Cargo product, for the UK regions, was successfully launched in February 2008.
To complement this product, Zurich UKGI has proudly launched their new Freight Liability product in June 2008. Both products will be managed by our team of specialist underwriters, and consolidates our position as a leading multi-specialist insurer.
Need for cover
Freight Liability cover is an essential safeguard for every business involved in transporting goods, such as road hauliers, warehouse keepers, freight forwarders, companies with fleets of commercial vehicles, and even property owners who store goods for others. Covering their legal liability for loss or damage to goods carried or stored as defined by the underlying contract for services or applicable international convention.
Policy Benefits
Our new policy is quick and efficient, offering instant cover, bespoke to each customer’s requirements with no proposal form to complete. The product is also priced competitively, which is vital in an industry that often trades on incredibly tight margins.
Cross-sell Opportunities
You will find the commission levels are generous too. Freight Liability insurance offers you genuine opportunities to cross-sell a broad range of products to new and existing accounts in the freight industry.
