Insurance protection for goods on the move
When your business depends on the safe and timely movement of goods, unexpected events like damage, loss, or delays can cause major setbacks. Cargo and Transit Insurance (also known as Marine Cargo or Shipping Insurance) helps protect your freight from these risks — whether it’s travelling locally or internationally.
What is Cargo & Transit Insurance?
Cargo and Transit Insurance (also referred to as Marine Cargo Insurance and Shipping Insurance) targets these specific marine cargo risks by providing cover for incidents such as delayed shipment costs, non-delivery by a carrier or loss of your goods while in transit.
It’s an important safeguard for businesses involved in the transportation, import, or export of goods, helping to minimise financial loss if something goes wrong along the journey.
Some common risks faced by businesses transporting goods are:
- Damage to goods during loading, unloading, or transit
- Theft, pilferage, or loss of goods in transit
- Accidents involving the transport vehicle or vessel
- Delays or non-delivery of shipments
- Exposure to weather-related damage (e.g. storms, floods)
