WHERE IT GOES WRONG

Why Renewable Cargo Outgrows Carrier Liability

01

Dropped and crushed pallets

Solar modules crack when a pallet is dropped or crushed. Damage from a covered handling accident is covered. For damage, we pay the reasonable cost of repair.

02

General Average exposure

When a ship jettisons cargo, every shipper shares the loss, uninsured, you post a bond to release your goods.

03

Project-site logistics

Remote site deliveries multiply handling, every transfer is another chance for damage.
