FAQs

A Marine Cargo insurance primarily offers protection against accidental physical loss or damage while goods are in transit.  It can be extended to cover goods in temporary storage during their overall transit along the supply chain.  A Marine Cargo insurance also offers additional cover for any general average or salvage charges that the cargo owner becomes obligated to pay.

For most transactions, an insurance certificate (or proof of Marine Cargo insurance coverage) is required by facilitating financiers as part of a standard documentation process.  Even if such requirement is optional, it is prudent to arrange a policy to protect your transportation exposures.

In recent years, geopolitical tensions and extreme weather have disrupted the supply chain ecosystems.  A Marine Cargo insurance policy can help minimize the financial exposures from unforeseen transportation exposures.
