A Simple Guide to Understanding Marine Cargo Insurance
WHAT IS MARINE CARGO INSURANCE?
Marine Cargo Insurance, also known as Cargo and Transit Insurance is one of the more complicated areas of transport insurance. Many transport operators are unaware of the varying insurance options available, what is covered, and how cover works.
Marine Cargo Insurance protects against loss or damage of goods when in transit by any method of transport – sea, rail, or air. Many things can go wrong when you move goods from one place to another, and the consequences can be devastating for you and your business if you are not adequately covered.
Who needs it?
Any business that sends or receives goods. Key industries that rely on transporting goods include:
- Manufacturing - importing raw materials and distributing finished products,
- Agriculture - producers transport goods from their farms,
- Wholesaler - moving goods from the manufacturer to the retailer,
- Retailers - moving stock from warehouses and stock transfers,
- Exploiting - importing and exporting raw materials and equipment.
