Every shipment that leaves a warehouse carries a hidden cost: the legal responsibility a carrier takes on the moment cargo is loaded until it reaches its final destination. When damage, loss or a stop-over incident happens, the bill can be far bigger than the value of the goods themselves. This programme from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is built around that exposure, giving transport and logistics professionals a practical grip on how carrier liability insurance works and how to put it to use inside their own organisations.

Companies moving general cargo, food products or non-hazardous chemicals by sea rely on insurance contracts that stay active through loading, transit and unloading, since the carrier remains legally answerable to cargo owners for as long as the goods are in its custody. Participants examine how liability cover responds when a loss is total or partial, how the compensation ceiling is set, and how negligence attributable to the carrier — whether the vehicle is owned or leased — is established and settled.
