Equipment insurance
Protection for containers, chassis, gensets, and reefer units against damage, malfunction, and liability.
Smartports extends its insurance framework to cover the equipment that carries your cargo - containers, chassis, gensets, and reefer units - so clients are never exposed to surprise repair or replacement charges from carriers.
Our equipment insurance policies protect against container damage during inland transit, reefer malfunction leading to cargo loss, and chassis liability during drayage. This is a service that most global forwarders simply don’t offer as a standalone product; we do, because we understand that an uninsured equipment claim can be as costly as the cargo itself.
What’s covered
Equipment insurance is virtually absent from competitor offerings. The major global forwarders - Kuehne + Nagel, DHL, DSV - do not offer standalone equipment insurance products. Smartports positions this as a signature service that de-risks the entire freight journey, not just the cargo.
Protect your equipment
Standalone equipment insurance that most forwarders don’t offer. Containers, chassis, gensets, and reefer units covered.
