A Carrier’s Liability and the Value of the Cargo Are Two Different Numbers
Carrier cargo liability is often limited, and the limit rarely matches what the freight is worth. Shippers’ interest cargo insurance protects the cargo owner’s interest directly, so a loss is not settled at whatever the carrier’s policy happens to allow.
Insurance Inside the Workflow
EKA’s founder came up in insurance and risk before building freight technology, which is why coverage sits on the same record as the load rather than in a separate portal.
