Tom M Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello, I am seeking advice about insuring a vehicle during transit; I am about to ship a Universal Carrier to the UK from New Zealand. I think I read on the forum somewhere that one should insure the vehicle during shipping in case it is lost at sea (We lost a prototype MBT in work recently when the cargo bay it was on was flooded by ship's Captain to prevent the ship capsizing!). Does anyone have any experience or advice. Is this insurance necessary, or is it provided by the shipping agent? If it is required can anyone advise where to get it. My normal insurance broker didn't have a clue. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike30841 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 What you need is a marine transit or marine cargo policy - a decent commercial broker should be able to sort you one out - try googling "marine transit insurance". Hope you manage to sort out some suitable cover. Cheers, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
