Transport is global
In the Netherlands, we have a large maritime and logistics sector. In transport many parties are involved to ensure that your goods reach the right destination.
Freight forwarders engage carriers, who arrange for your goods to be transported by land, air, inland waterways or sea. Ship carriers provide transport by water. Road carriers do it by land. And all these parties face risks for which there is an insurance solution. Such as a transport insurance that insures (business) goods, hull, logistics liability or carrier liability. We insure means of transport such as ships, trucks and aircraft as well. Or land and work equipment.

Sjoerd Jaasma, Manager Transport
Sea transport, air transport, often in a variety of packaging... Logistics service providers and carriers are creative when it comes to shipping materials. I enjoy considering this to ensure the right coverage. The way a shipment is organised seriously affects the way goods are insured. The impact of a proper insurance is increasing. Especially considering the current trend, where risks are more catastrophic. Larger ships, more natural disasters and therefore higher amounts claimed.
Our expert team is ready In the event of any damage occurring to a customer. Every customer at Meijers has a personal point of contact, thus knows who to contact. This includes ad hoc questions. We know a lot about each customer. This enables us to advise them next to assessing their risks.
Maxime Hoeflaken, Senior Claims Handler
One great thing about Meijers is the relationship with the client, but also the closeness as a team. Recently, an insurer did not see any ground for cover and did not want to pay. The client had suffered a lot of damage in the meantime. Then we put our heads together with the whole team. We went through the various scenarios, worked out the policy together and invited the insurer for a consultation. In a calm and collected atmosphere we solved the difference of opinion and the claim was settled. We leave no stone unturned. In one of my first weeks of employment I drove up and down from Amstelveen to Vlissingen to inspect a damage claim with my own eyes. By doing this we can immediately act and coordinate with expert, insurer and client. I really like that and I never want to leave the T&L sector.
