Moving freight comes with risk and when something goes wrong, the financial consequences can be significant. Container Transport arranges transit and freight insurance for domestic and international shipments, giving New Zealand businesses the confidence to move goods knowing they are protected. Our domestic freight insurance covers general cargo against accidental loss, physical damage, or destruction, with two levels of cover available depending on your cargo and risk appetite. Our international transit insurance covers household goods, personal effects, motor vehicles, and boats moving to and from New Zealand for the full duration of transit.

Both policies include practical extensions beyond basic cover. General average and salvage charges are included, along with airfreight costs to expedite repair or replacement up to NZ$5,000, and disposal costs following a claim up to NZ$5,000 — both in addition to your sum insured. Domestic general cargo cover limits reach up to NZ$250,000 per conveyance, with sub-limits for electronic equipment, used machinery, and antiques. Transit and freight insurance is sold by Container Transport, with advice provided by our trusted insurance broker, Amicus. Please read the full policy wording carefully before taking out cover.

Container Transport keeps everything under one roof — one company, one conversation, and your cargo covered from door to door. We work with businesses of all sizes, from one-off shipments to regular scheduled freight on domestic and international trade lanes.
