Equipment insurance

Protection for containers, chassis, gensets, and reefer units against damage, malfunction, and liability.

Industry First Containers Chassis Reefer Units
Smartports advantage

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

Containers
Container damage
Protection against structural damage to dry containers, reefers, and specialty equipment during inland transit, handling, and storage.
Reefer
Reefer malfunction
Coverage for refrigerated unit failures that result in cargo loss or deterioration. Includes genset breakdown during overland transit.
Chassis
Chassis liability
Protection for chassis damage and third-party liability during drayage operations. Covers repair costs and replacement fees.
Genset
Genset coverage
Insurance for portable generator sets used to power reefer containers during transit. Covers mechanical failure, fuel-related incidents, and theft.
Key differentiator

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.
