Ocean Cargo Choice
We’ve Streamlined
Ocean Cargo Insurance
High Seas. Collision. Movement. Theft. Damage. Of all the things that can go wrong when you ship cargo, there’s one that can really scuttle your business. Complex paperwork can sink your ability to deliver, damage client relationships, and wreck your bottom line.
It’s why The Hartford’s Ocean Cargo Choice has a totally streamlined process. Through the Hartford’s online, self-service method you or your Hartford agent can quickly access and send certificates, 24/7. Plus Ocean Cargo Choice gives you a one-step solution for issuing, managing and tracking ocean cargo certificates.
Almost All Goods Are Good to Go
The Hartford will cover most lawful shipments of goods, freight and merchandise. So long as your client has an insurable interest in those goods, they’re good to go. So we’ll even cover things other insurers may not, like sales representative samples.
Broad Coverage for Long Distance Shipments
The Hartford’s Ocean Cargo Choice provides extensive coverage. Cargo is covered from point of shipment, while it’s in transit, and right up until it reaches its destination. The Hartford will even cover concealed damage for damage that may occur during shipment, even though there is no apparent damage to the packaging.
