Does Maersk Cargo Insurance provided by Zurich Insurance only cover cargo, or does it also cover potential damages to the containers?
If you are shipping dry goods, then our cargo insurance policy covers your liability to Maersk for damage to the container in your care. However, this coverage isn’t available for damage to a reefer container.
