In today’s world, insurance companies and their policies are often viewed very negatively. Individuals tend to be skeptical due to possible poor past experience, incomprehensible long-read terms and conditions, etc. However, with the recent uneasy circumstances insurance services used their time to shine within the international moving world.
If you are an assignee, work has thrust upon you having to move your household goods and possessions from one international location to another. It is one of the most emotive things international assignee’s and their families will have to endure.
You are relocating your goods along that have sentimental value, personal and prized items built up over a period of time, pictures of children, memorabilia, birthday & anniversary presents, the list is endless. Household goods are moved to ensure that transition from A to B for you and your family is seamless; moving these items ensures that your new home feels like home.
The difficulties quarantine brought about
The civilized world, as we know it, is going through unprecedented times with Covid19. It’s changing the face of the world, infrastructure is shifting, ongoing changes in day to day processes are being made by governments, affecting many global services. One of these areas is how ports & airports around the world conduct formalities for allowing your possessions to enter the country. Enhanced measures, safety protocols & procedures are being put in place to ensure that the spread of Covid19 is eliminated. Ports around the globe will be incorporating new measures (such as compulsory container sterilization and quarantine from certain countries) on how transport enters the ports to deliver these containers and customs authorities will be looking at goods arriving with a safety view first. All of this will affect the amount of time your possessions stay in transit.
As an assignee, having a Marine Transit policy to cover your household goods in these trying times is now more important than ever. It’s critical, you’re moving your life, you are entrusting your items to outside agencies such as moving companies, shipping lines, customs authorities and not forgetting the elements. These factors are all outside of an assignee’s control. Your possessions need to be comprehensively insured with all the eventualities taken into consideration. A Marine Transit Insurance policy, with the reassurance that it provides, will give assignee’s and their family peace of mind. The comfort that comes with an Insurance policy is paramount for successful assignee transitioning.
