Incidents at sea have begun occurring with alarming frequency. As a result, we recommend as a matter of course that all our clients purchase cargo insurance as this will ensure that your investment is protected – especially since rates continue to sit at historically high levels.

 

Please reach out to your OEC Logistics Consultant to understand how this option can help give you peace of mind and protect your investment.

 

Sincerely yours, 

 

OEC Group
