What Are the Key Differences Between Alliance Risk and CNA Cargo and Transit Insurance?
Transit mode and goods covered
Alliance Risk distinguishes ocean marine for international sea cargo, containers, vessels, and freight from inland marine for tools, equipment, installations, and off-premises storage. CNA’s Ocean Cargo description follows insured goods from inland origin to final inland destination, including water or air and connecting transit. For mixed-mode shipments, map each segment and storage stop against the quoted form and ask where one policy hands off to another. [1] [4]
Exclusions and risk controls
Alliance Risk flags poor packaging, territory, business-income, and flood issues, and recommends tracking and pre/post-transit photo logs. CNA lists incidental storage and exhibition or consignment options and describes a policy portal for certificates and claims contacts. Ask whether your packaging, route, storage, or flood exposure needs an endorsement, and how claims would be reported during an international shipment. [1] [1] [4]
