Marine Insurance

If your business relies on cargo to be shipped by sea, you’ll want to know that it’s protected from the moment it leaves its departure point to the moment it arrives at your business door.

Marine insurance is vital to protect your cargo from the obvious potential damage that might come from it being on the sea (i.e. leakage or it goes down with a sinking ship).

However, there are other less obvious reasons why your cargo might be compromised when on the move, from such things as theft or piracy, fire or an explosion, or indeed storms and other weather threats might cause damage to your precious cargo while in transit.

Who is it for?

For any business or organisation that depends on cargo to arrive by sea, road, rail and air, Marine Insurance is something that you should not be without.

What does this insurance cover?
