PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Property & Marine Insurance Commission (PMIC), a rating and advisory organization, is encouraging insurance carriers, brokers, risk managers, and transportation professionals to carefully evaluate cargo liability coverage as transportation and logistics operations continue to evolve.

Recent industry discussion, including a 2026 review by IRMI of logistics liability coverage forms, has highlighted that cargo liability forms can differ significantly in the protection they provide.

Today's transportation companies often function as full-service logistics providers, performing services that extend beyond motor carriage to include freight brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing, cargo handling, consolidation, and other logistics operations. As these responsibilities expand, so do the legal liability exposures associated with customers' property in transit or storage.

To address these evolving risks, PMIC developed its proprietary Combined Cargo Liabilities (CLC) form, a unified coverage approach designed specifically for modern transportation and logistics operations.

"Transportation companies today frequently operate as full-service logistics providers rather than traditional motor carriers," said Alexander McGinley, Executive Vice President of PMIC. "Organizations should carefully review policy language and not focus solely on premium. Coverage differences can be significant and may only become apparent after a loss occurs."

PMIC Property & Marine Insurance Commission (https://www.thecommission.com/) recommends that transportation professionals review whether their cargo liability coverage adequately addresses the full range of services they provide, including motor carriage, brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing, and related logistics activities.

While cargo liability policies may appear similar at first glance, differences in wording can produce materially different outcomes when claims arise. Companies should ensure their coverage aligns with both their operations and contractual obligations throughout the supply chain.

PMIC's Combined Cargo Liabilities form provides legal liability protection, including contingent liability coverage, for customers' property accepted or arranged for transit or storage across motor carrier, warehousing, transportation brokerage, surface freight forwarding, and international freight forwarding operations.
