Specialist insurance cover is tailored to individual needs

A MARINE insurance policy that provides the specialist cover necessary to protect your perishable cargo every step of the way is what Santam's 'Crispsure' is all about.
It's a tailor-made policy provided by Santam in co-operation with Marine Serve Brokers for exporters of fruit and vegetables, says a company source.
The client chooses how wide the cover should be with the insurance menu ranging from basic fire, collision and theft cover to the more specialised cover needed for delays and temperature variations.
Goods are covered from the moment the road vehicle is loaded at the packing house, during its transit to the cold store at the harbour or aiport, until it reaches its final harbour or airport destination. The cover remains effective while the cargo is cleared through customs and is delivered to the overseas buyer's store or market.
And thanks to Santam's wide network of international surveyors, claims can be assessed and settled at an overseas destination in the shortest time possible, according to the spokesman.
Export can be fraught with risks, which is why the right insurance for this specialised business is essential. We believe that Crispsure takes care of the marine exporter's peace of mind.
Santam Marine has been underwriting the export of perishable cargo for more than ten years.
