A new cargo insurance website, GoCargoInsurance.com, has been launched to bridge the gap created after the introduction of new regulations from the Financial Services Authority. From January 2005, freight forwarders who have not obtained FSA authorisation are no longer allowed to sell insurance direct to their customers.
The website, owned and operated by Drakefield Insurance Services Limited and supported by Aon Limited, the UK's largest insurance broker and risk management consultant, has been designed to enable cargo owners to obtain instant cost-effective insurance for their cargo.
Users can benefit from access to GoCargoInsurance.com 24 hours a day and will be guided by a simple-to-use rating engine. The website provides cargo owners with instant quotations and insurance certificates online, enabling them to obtain confirmation that their goods are fully insured, with immediate effect.
GoCargoInsurance.com is inviting freight forwarders to register on the website, with the opportunity to receive a commission and strengthen their customer relationships when they direct cargo owners online to purchase a policy for their cargo.
