Cargo insurance: Istanbul to Felixstowe
Turkey → United Kingdom · Road · 6–10 days door to door
What goes wrong on this corridor
- Road transit means unattended trailers at rest stops — the classic pilferage exposure.
- Multiple border crossings, each a document check and a potential standing period.
- Branded apparel is theft-attractive out of proportion to its unit value.
Low risk — Mature ports, reliable handling, low theft frequency. Applied as a ×0.92 factor on the rate.
Highest incident frequency: accidents, hijack and pilferage at rest stops, plus unattended trailers. Applied as ×1.14.
Worked example
$100,000 of branded apparel & footwear, ICC (A), $500 deductible, sum insured built as invoice + 10%.
