Cargo insurance · Port of Savannah

Freight insurance with both feet on the dock

Norvalis Group writes cargo cover for the goods that move through the Port of Savannah and out across the Southeast: furniture and textiles, produce, auto parts, building materials. A claim pays the full invoice value, where a carrier’s declared-value cover stops at its own cap, and the adjuster on the file has worked more than one hurricane season.

Transit cover

A carrier’s declared value pays out at the carrier’s limit. We pay the invoice value from the minute the load leaves your dock, for a container of upholstered sofas landing at Garden City Terminal or a flatbed of roofing shingles bound for Charlotte.

Damage & loss

A pallet of pecans that sat in a hot trailer over a long weekend. Drywall soaked when the port closed for a tropical storm. A carton of brake rotors that stopped scanning at the sort hub. Two pallets short on a delivery of alternators. If it is lost or damaged on the way, it gets paid.

Six shippers, six claims, in their own words

A trailer of upholstered sectionals sat in a yard in Garden City for nine days while a hurricane cleared the coast. Two were mildewed when the doors opened. Norvalis Group’s adjuster met our driver at the dock, and the check covered the full wholesale invoice in twenty-two days.

Carrier fees come from the published FedEx and UPS declared-value tables. Your own rate depends on negotiated carrier contracts, commodity, lanes, and how much of it moves through the port during hurricane season.

Notes from the underwriting desk

Short pieces from the people who price your risk: which terminals are backed up this month, what the storm track means for cargo already on the water, which documents a claims desk asks for first, and what our files say about how furniture and produce should be packed.

Hurricane season for shippers: where standard transit cover stops

From June to November, cargo on the Georgia coast waits out closures in yards and at anchor. We set out what ordinary transit cover does during a weather hold and what a delay extension adds, with a note on documenting goods that never left the terminal.

Why a flatbed claim and a container claim need different paperwork

Auto parts and building materials on inland legs produce many small damage claims; ocean legs produce fewer, larger ones. What that means for the deductible you carry, and which photos to take at each handover so the file closes fast.
