Goods In Transit Insurance & International Cargo Cover

Africa-GIT – bringing market leading international goods in transit capacity to Africa

Africa-GIT is the trading division of SACB, bringing together Industry professionals with over 50 years GIT (Goods in Transit) experience in Africa, marrying our local knowledge across the continent with leading global insurance capacity (including Lloyd’s of London).

We provide high value GIT coverage, leading terms at cost effective premiums, underwritten locally by our domestic insurance partners across the continent but 100% reinsured internationally.

Many companies when transporting their goods from Point A to Point B frequently make the mistake of believing that their goods are insured by their chosen transporter.

More often than not this is not the case. Transporters will normally cover their own needs and even when they say they have goods covered it is usually insufficient to cover any likely losses.

If goods are lost in a hijack, traffic accident, fire, flood or any other disaster without a dedicated GIT policy these goods may not be properly or fully insured. This is where we come in.

Our appetite is:

  • Large load limit business
  • High AVCs (over $150K / R25m) – i.e. Risks we can survey at UW’er expense
  • Average 3-year loss ratios less than 50%
  • Minerals & Petrochemicals (including Cobalt, Copper, Petrol, etc)
  • High value Machinery (normally mining related)
  • Cross Border Risks
  • Risks that are based in other African countries
  • We can also look at Coal and Perishable goods
