Once a shipment begins moving, it encounters risks beyond anyone’s complete control—from severe weather and handling accidents to theft, water damage or loss at sea.

Cargo insurance turns an unpredictable event into a manageable business risk. Because when the unexpected happens, “we packed it carefully” isn’t a financial recovery plan.

Insure the journey, not just the destination.

20FT vs 40FT: bigger isn’t automatically better.

A 20-foot container is often well suited to smaller shipments and dense, heavy cargo. A 40-foot container offers almost twice the internal capacity, making it practical for larger, lighter or higher-volume loads.

But container selection should account for more than volume:
📦 Cargo dimensions
⚖️ Total weight
↕️ Stackability
🏗️ Loading requirements
🔒 Safe weight distribution

Before your goods begin their journey, ask:
✓ Is the crate strong enough for lifting and stacking?
✓ Is the cargo secured against movement and vibration?
✓ Is it protected from moisture and impact?
✓ Are the correct handling labels clearly visible?

International shipments pass through multiple stages, environments and handling points. Packaging that works for storage or local transport may not be sufficient for international freight.

Incoterms® establish where the buyer’s responsibilities begin, where the seller’s end, who arranges and pays for specific stages, and when the risk of loss or damage transfers between them.

Understanding the agreed Incoterm® before confirming a purchase can help you anticipate costs, coordinate the right services and avoid costly misunderstandings later.

Know your terms before your cargo moves. Contact ICSL for guidance on your next shipment.
