The role of the mover in cargo insurance claims

by Fatima Calderon

I want to share this article from AirCargo World.

Although the cause for insurance claims that has to do with "cargo packing" is the lowest of all figures, it still amounts to $41MIL losses, and as the article says, bad packing can also lead to other causes, such as fires.

To me, what this study signifies is that there is still a lot of work to be done in improving packing and we in the moving industry have to be selective when we choose partners to work with so that these risks can be minimized.

For people moving, this study highlights the importance of choosing a reputable moving company that will use proper packing materials and will have only professionals handling the items.
