Protecting Your Goods in Transit
Transporting goods by road, sea or air exposes your cargo to a range of risks. Accidents, theft, weather events, handling damage and other unexpected incidents can result in damaged or lost goods, delays and significant costs for your business.
Marine Transit Insurance can help protect your goods while they are being transported, whether you are moving cargo within Australia or internationally. Cover can be tailored to the type of goods you transport, how they are moved and the risks involved, helping you manage the financial impact of unexpected loss or damage.
What is Marine Transit Insurance?
Marine Transit Insurance provides cover for goods, cargo and equipment while they are being transported by road, rail, sea or air, whether within Australia or internationally. Cover can be tailored to the type of goods being transported, the journey and the risks involved.

- Loss of Goods – covering goods that are lost during transportation, subject to the policy terms
