Caravel Cargo

Caravel Cargo provides marine and inland cargo insurance for goods moving into and across Africa. Rather than pricing only the sea voyage, the company underwrites the full chain of custody, drawing on a decade of experience shipping goods and a database tracking the licensing, activity and claims history of customs brokers, transit firms, warehouses and surveyors. This lets Caravel Cargo price warehouse-to-warehouse risk, underwrite inland legs that other insurers decline or sub-limit, and work with surveyors familiar with the ground realities of these corridors. The company positions itself as understanding the actual points of loss—ports, roads and storage—rather than only the vessel itself, serving businesses moving cargo through African trade routes.
