Carriers Insurance

PSC Connect Authorised Representatives specialise Carriers Insurance. The transportation of goods and livestock is a critical component of Australian business and it is important to protect your customer’s stock.

Transport carriers are liable for all damage, delay, and loss of cargo from acceptance of cargo through its delivery or release. Also known as Goods In Transit Insurance, Carriers Insurance protects transport operators for loss or damage to their customers’ goods or livestock. The insurance is covered against client contracts or consignment notes and is a relatively inexpensive way for the carrier who manages their risk contractually to protect them.

Depending on your individual situation, PSC Connect Authorised Representatives can extend cover to include delay, loss of market or consequential loss caused solely by loss or damage to the insured goods or livestock.

3. Carriers Compensation (All Risks) Cover for all goods in your care custody or control.

Our experienced PSC Connect Authorised Representatives can help you get the right insurance cover by assessing your specific needs and recommending the best value insurance solution for your business, whilst still maintaining the highest standard of cover.
