marine cargo insurance

Marine cargo insurance protects companies against damage and loss during the transport of goods on and across the sea.

Marine cargo insurance can also cover salvage and rescue costs that may be incurred in the event of an accident.

The insurance can be taken out by either the sender or the recipient of the goods and covers various risks, including damage, loss, theft, or robbery.

Insurance companies offer various types of marine cargo insurance, such as all-risk policies that provide comprehensive coverage or specific policies that cover only certain risks. The insurance should also take into account the local laws and regulations applicable in the country from which the goods are shipped as well as in the country where they are received.

Typical examples of damage

  • Loss of goods through shipwreck or hijacking
  • Damage to goods due to bad weather or improper handling during transport
  • Theft or robbery of goods in transit
  • Delays due to accidents or other unforeseen circumstances
  • Violation of laws and regulations that may lead to damages

Companies that transport goods by sea should take out marine cargo insurance to protect their business and their goods. Industries such as retail, consumer goods, industrial, manufacturing, technology, and mining are particularly vulnerable to damage during transport. However, companies that only occasionally transport goods should also take out marine cargo insurance to protect themselves against unexpected damage and costs. The level of insurance coverage depends on various factors, such as the type of goods transported, the distance, the mode of transport, and the risks associated with the transport.

Marine cargo insurance is particularly important for companies that operate internationally and transport large quantities of goods. It is also useful when goods are transported via inland waterways or in combination with other modes of transport such as trucks or airplanes.
