What got you here? Problems you may face as a CHA or Importer in deciding  Right Insurance Advisor

Our interactions with some of our clients and fraternities got us the following insights on their pain-points w.r.t. Being rest-assured with cargo insurance, in the wake of their following (unfavourable, unwanted) experience with insurance consultants:

  1. Lack of Specialization in Marine Insurance – This is a big one. They (the consultants) should’ve known this is not your average general insurance.
  2. Difficulty Assessing Credibility – Yeah, no proven track record to support their fitness to take up special assignments.
  3. Overlapping Responsibilities
  4. Complexity of Policy Terms
  5. Varied Coverage Needs
  6. Delays in Documentation & Certificates
    Cargo insurance often requires quick issuance of insurance certificates for customs clearance. If an advisor is slow, it can disrupt CHA operations and lead to detention/demurrage.
  7. Hidden Costs or Inadequate Premium Guidance

    • Some advisors may not disclose additional costs, deductibles, or exclusions, leaving CHAs or their clients facing unexpected expenses during claims.

  8. Poor Claim Support
    Oh, the disappearance during the claim process! If you want to know what we did last summer, then here it is –  Record-Breaking Claim Settlement – Fire Insurance
    We successfully settled the fire insurance claim for M/s Frootle India Pvt. Ltd., reported on 27th April 2024, for a substantial claim amount of ₹52.00 Crores.
    The entire claim was settled in a record-breaking timeframe of just 6 months, with the final payment released in October 2024.
    Incident Location: Harihar Complex, Mumbai–Nashik Highway, Bhiwandi, Thane.
    That’s swift and fair settlements brought to you by unmatched expertise and client-first approach claim handling, rapid coordination, top it up with peace of mind..

  9. Regional Knowledge Gaps
    Cargo insurance requirements can vary by port, country of shipment, or type of cargo. If an advisor lacks global trade knowledge, coverage may fall short.
  10. Reputation Risk for CHAs
    If a CHA refers a weak or unreliable advisor, the importer/exporter blames the CHA. Hence, finding a trustworthy advisor is not just about service, but also about protecting their own professional credibility.
