TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS & MARINE and CARGO INSURANCE

In addition to the obvious, i.e. insurance of vessels, Marine insurance encompasses a wide range of activities relating to transportation logistics. It can be coverage on cargo whilst in transit, whether it is livestock from Canada to Japan or automotive parts from an Ontario factory to a U.S.-based assembly line or helicopters to Algeria. There is no limitation in terms of distance or transportation mode.

BFL CANADA can provide insurance to cover all stages of the transit – from the moment the goods leave the supplier’s warehouse up to the arrival at the buyer’s warehouse including ground, water and air transportation.
