Business insurance

Marine cargo and transit

Goods moving by sea, air, road or rail.

Insurance for goods on the move

Marine cargo insurance addresses goods in transit by sea, air, road or rail. The cargo, route, packing and sale terms determine what needs to be declared and compared.

What to review

Transit scope

Identify the origin, destination, storage stops and start and end of cover.

Cargo clauses

Compare the applicable cargo clauses and exclusions rather than relying on an 'all risk' label.

Shipment structure

Choose a specific-transit, open-policy or other suitable arrangement for shipment frequency.

Special cargo

Review temperature-sensitive goods, packing requirements, rejection exposures and survey conditions separately.

What to keep ready

Cargo description, invoice value, packing method, transit routes, shipment frequency, sale terms and loss history.
