A rich heritage and mastery of Marine insurance


Few industries have greater need to evaluate the risks that their operations face, by virtue of their global reach and complex handling commitments, than international freight handling.


CNA Europe provides an ideal counterpart to the risk management challenges faced by freight handlers; our international network and team of sector specialists gives us the skills and resource to deploy the right people and the right risk management tools to meet this industry’s unique challenges. We work with many world class operators in the sector, we understand the complexities of their business and we know that there are no simple insurance solutions.


An international freight forwarder, with operative bases in more than 30 countries worldwide, approached CNA Europe for an extremely complex international insurance programme covering liability, storage and cargo. Foremost amongst the many operational requirements of an effective programme was compliance with mandatory insurance legislation in a large number of jurisdictions. The dedicated CNA Europe programme team organised both directly and where necessary, via international partners, a seamless global insurance programme that not only satisfied all the differing regulatory requirements, but was individually tailored to create superior coverage and absolute peace of mind for the client.


A key element of the programme’s success was CNA Europe’s bespoke online cargo product www.cnacargo.com.The system proved an invaluable instrument to allow marine insurance certificates to be issued on a 24 hour basis, ensuring consistent cover globally, as well as providing access to CNA Europe’s 24 hour global claims handling service.
