Cargo Insurance

Protect your cargo and your bottom line

Every shipment carries more than just your cargo — it carries risk. 

Accidents, loss, or damage can happen while your cargo is in transit. Standard carrier liability often falls short, leaving you to cover costly gaps and directly impacting your bottom line. 

That's where PSA BDP's cargo insurance comes in. We offer door-to-door, worldwide coverage with no deductible and faster claims resolution, so your goods (and your business) are protected at every step of the way. 

Why insure with PSA BDP?
 

  • Full value protection
    Ensure full coverage of your goods, including freight and additional charges, so you're protected against unforeseen losses. 

  • Door-to-door coverage
    Your cargo stays protected across all transport modes, multimodal transportation, and warehousing

  • Flexible to your needs
    Choose to insure every shipment or just a single load, whether you ship with PSA BDP or your preferred carrier. 

  • No deductible
    Unlike many policies, you keep every dollar of your payout — no deductible applies. 

  • Fast, hassle-free claims
    We manage claims directly, with no carrier involvement, and target 30 days for resolution as opposed to the typical 90–120 days. Less waiting, less stress, faster recovery. 

  • Competitive premiums
    Get comprehensive coverage at a small, predictable cost that protects your margins.
