Marine Insurance

Protecting Goods in Motion

In a global trade environment, goods rarely stay in one place for long. Every point of movement — loading, transit, storage, and handling — carries exposure to loss, damage, or delay. Marine insurance provides essential protection for businesses that ship, store, or handle goods, as well as for the operators responsible for moving them safely from origin to destination.

Marine Insurance Solutions
To protect our clients across the full supply chain, we offer several specialized solutions:

• Marine Cargo Insurance: Comprehensive cover against loss or damage to goods in transit from point A to point B, by sea, air, land, or courier. This protection is taken out by the cargo owner and applies regardless of who is at fault.

• Marine Liability Insurance: Third-party liability insurance protecting freight forwarders, carriers, and logistics operators against their legal liabilities arising from the insured activities — including loss, damage, or misdelivery of goods under their care, custody, or control.

• Inland Marine Insurance: Protection for assets that are movable or mobile in nature, in transit or in storage, where specialization is needed or unique exposures exist — such as equipment moved between project sites or goods held in specialized storage.

• Marine Risk Consulting: Loss control support to help identify and reduce risk across trade and transportation operations, aimed at preventing losses and minimizing costly delays before they occur.

Who Should Consider Marine Insurance

• Importers, exporters, and manufacturers shipping goods domestically or internationally

• Freight forwarders and logistics operators

• Businesses handling dangerous goods (DG) or chemicals in transit or storage

• Contractors and operators moving equipment between sites

Handling dangerous goods or operating a warehouse? Pollution and contamination risk is typically excluded from standard cargo and liability cover. See our Environmental Impairment Liability Insurance under Liability & Indemnity Insurance for coverage that fills this gap.
