Frequently Asked Questions

01.What is Cross Trade?

Answer:

This is when cargo is moved between a point of origin and a destination without entering the country where the shipper is registered.

02.Why Do I Need to Insure My Shipment?

Answer:
For peace of mind. Freight forwarders and carriers have limited liability under international conventions for loss or damage to customer goods. In the case of an incident, your compensation is normally calculated against a “standard” negligent liability clause. Samsonlines provides marine insurance to cover the ‘gap’ between our “standard” liability and the full value of your goods.

03.How Do I Get a Price for My Shipment?

Answer:

If your company has no contract with Samsonlines, please get in touch with us for a quote.

04.How Much Does the Freight Transportation Cost?

Answer:
It depends on your shipping requirements, distance, size, and weight of goods, insurance, and the current surcharges in your country.
