Risk Management By the Buckton team

When your business moves goods, your property, fleet and cargo risks overlap. Cover them together.

One view of the risk

Premises, stock, fleet and goods in transit often sit with different insurers. Gaps appear where they meet, for example goods waiting in the yard overnight.

Know your carrier's liability

If you carry goods for others, your responsibility depends on your contracts. Make sure your cover follows what you have signed.

Temperature and contamination

Cold chain operators need specific cover for incorrect temperature setting and contamination. These are rarely included by default.

Plan for delays

Demurrage and detention costs can climb quickly. Ask whether they can be covered.
