Do you need insurance?
What is the risk to your business if something happens to the cargo that you shipped, or to the vessel that the cargo was being transported? Did you know that if a vessel takes on severe damage that YOU the cargo owner of freight on that vessel are responsible for paying the pro-rata share of the vessel repair? Over the years, we have heard too many stories where cargo owners did not properly assess their risk and, consequently, lost their total investment. Stories ranging from simple cargo theft from the back of a truck, crushed and open cartons disclosed upon final delivery to a lack of General Average insurance and spending equal value of the goods to retain release after a vessel incident causing damage to a vessel. When it comes to cargo insurance for the supply chain process, the cost of not buying insurance greatly outweighs the minimal amount spent on coverage!
American Shipping Co. gives you a risk assessment that will inform you of the options you have in case of supply chain losses. If you would like to have a better understanding of your potential risks and the cost of those risks, please contact one of our in-house insurance specialists - a few minutes can give you lasting peace of mind.

What Our Clients Say
End to End Transparency
“The end-to-end transparency has allowed us to make Logistics decisions to lower costs such as storage at port and the ability to reroute our freight to another port if a pattern of congestion. One report in AmeriReports that actually helps with this is the “Ocean Carrier Transit Times with delivery”. We are able to track from the sail date to the delivery date. We are able to spot patterns of much longer transit times and investigate as to what the issue is and where we can make improvements.”
