Aviva’s Global, Corporate and Specialty (GCS) division has enhanced its Freight Liability insurance product for freight forwarding and haulage sectors.
It is now available on the Acturis E-Trade and Fast Trade platforms.
The insurance product features enhanced cover limits for both per tonne and per vehicle to accommodate the varied requirements of businesses and address the diverse risks they may encounter.
The conditions of carriage have been expanded to include terms from Logistics UK and the British International Freight Association.
Aviva UK marine manager Chris Green said: “We have invested in making our Cargo and Freight Liability propositions more accessible, flexible and responsive to today’s needs. That includes enhanced cover limits, broader carriage condition options and a new lower-cost ‘economy’ tier for clients not handling Theft Attractive Goods.
“We have also grown our team significantly to ensure we can support brokers with both digital and traditional trading.”
