Aviva’s Global, Corporate and Specialty division has introduced enhanced freight liability insurance, with the updated product available to brokers on Acturis E-Trade and Fast Trade platforms.

Key enhancements include increased cover limits, a broader range of conditions of carriage intended to offer greater flexibility for freight forwarders and hauliers, and the introduction of a lower-cost ‘economy’ cover.

Alongside the product update, Aviva’s digital team has also been expanded with the appointment of three new marine underwriters. The insurer says its marine team has more than doubled in size over the past seven years and now operates on a national scale.

Chris Green, UK marine manager at Aviva, said: “We’ve invested in making our cargo and freight liability propositions more accessible, flexible and responsive to today’s needs. That includes enhanced cover limits, broader carriage condition options, and a new lower cost ‘economy’ tier for clients not handling theft attractive goods.

“We’ve also grown our team significantly to ensure we can support brokers with both digital and traditional trading. Now with one of the UK’s largest cargo and freight liability underwriting teams behind us, we’re ready to help brokers trade their way – online or offline – with confidence and ease.”
