Not many customers know that the liability of freight forwarders is limited or even sometimes excluded in the event of damage. It’s only damage and loss caused by demonstrable negligence that fall under a financially limited framework. At the same time, damage can increase beyond measure – for example, if there is a major accident and the costs of all lost and damaged cargo and any repair costs for the ship are to be borne proportionately.
