Why Marine Insurance Matters
Careful packing. Professional handling. Insurance is there for the unexpected.
Our crews use proven packing methods and take great care when preparing, loading and handling your shipment. Every shipment is treated with care from the first carton through final delivery.
Even with careful packing and professional handling, an international shipment passes through many stages. Household goods may travel by truck, move through warehouses and ports, be handled by forklifts and cranes, cross the ocean in a container, pass through customs and then be delivered to your home in Israel.
Marine insurance is available because unexpected events can occur during that journey. It provides financial protection for covered loss or damage, subject to the coverage selected and the terms of the insurance policy.
Some belongings are naturally more vulnerable than others. Glass, artwork, furniture with delicate finishes and certain electronics can require additional care, even when professionally packed.
