It’s surprising that three significant cargo ship incidents have been in the news in the past few months alone.

• Grimaldi cargo ship Grande America sank off the coast of France on March 12, 2019 following a fire, taking with it some 2,000 cars.
• Fire erupted in engine room of cargo ship HALA B, anchored at Chioggia, Italy, on Feb 26, 2019.
• General cargo ship SL STAR capsized and sank along berth at Rajaee Port, Bandar Abbas, Iran, morning of Mar 19, 2019.

This all just reminds us of the value of always protecting your shipment with highly affordable Marine Cargo Insurance.
