Cargo insurance for cannabis, CBD and hemp

Protect product in transit with confidence

Keep products moving securely – with cargo cover that safeguards your clients across the entire supply chain.

Policy overview

When goods are on the move, the risks don’t stop. Our cargo insurance helps you protect cannabis, hemp and CBD shipments against loss, theft, or damage in transit.

Whether goods are travelling by road, air, or sea, our policy supports business continuity from origin to destination: across the UK, EU, and beyond. 

Coverage can be adapted using internationally recognised wordings (for example LMA ICC A/B/C, VNAB, DTV Güter), ensuring flexibility for your client’s shipping profile.
