Handling damage? Goods in your custody? We review liabilities, obligations and cover.

Cargo moves.
Excuses stay

I’m Saverio Zavaglia. I help ports, freight forwarders and logistics businesses understand what their policies cover. And what stays on their desk.
Let’s talk ↗How I work ↓BASED IN GENOAFOCUS ON THE ITALIAN MARKETDIRECT CONTACT, CLEAR LANGUAGE
Expertise
Your business.
Where I come in.
Three sectors. One starting point: what happens to your business when something goes wrong.
Freight and cargo
Damaged cargo or a forwarding error? We distinguish cargo cover from the liability of the business handling it.
Transport and logistics
Carriers, warehouses and deliveries. We follow the handovers to see where you retain the risk.
Metodo TARGA · How it works
Bring the documents.
Reassurance can wait.
01 / Tell me
Real operations first: goods, routes, people and problems.
02 / Compare
Operations, contracts and policies. We look for the gaps between them.
03 / Set priorities
What to prevent, manage or insure. With any open questions clearly identified.
Zero jargon. Clear questions.
Insurance is boring.
We’re irreverent.
We take your risks seriously. Insurance clichés, rather less.

SMALL PRINT.BIG QUESTIONS.
“We’re covered for everything.”
Everything is a very big word.
Which events, goods and routes? With which limits and exclusions? Start with the wording, not the slogan.
“We’ve always done it this way.”
The fax machine had fans, too.
Your operations change. So do your contracts. When did you last check whether your policy kept up?
“Just make it cheap.”
You see the premium now. The rest, at claim time.
Compare price, deductibles and retained exposure: how much does the business actually carry?

At that price, I promise not to mention deductibles during the toast. Probably. A joke, of course: this is not a bookable service.
Less theatre. More clarity. Even when the answer is uncomfortable.
Time has a value. Here it is.
