However, when it comes to moving your effects internationally, it becomes even more important.

Here at Galleon International, we wish to give you confidence and peace of mind that your household effects are protected against loss or damage, by providing you choice in the Insurance Cover that is most suited to You. It is flexible, it is easy and it is secure.
