Marine Transit Insurance

Protecting your goods in transit

Moving goods over land, sea, or air involves a variety of risks that can disrupt your business. Accidents, extreme weather, theft, or damage can result in delays, financial losses, or even the total loss of valuable cargo.

Marine Transit Insurance provides comprehensive protection for your shipments, whether you are transporting domestically or internationally. Policies can be tailored to cover your specific cargo, transport methods, and risks, helping to safeguard your business and ensure your goods reach their destination securely.

What is Marine Transit Insurance?

Marine Transit Insurance is designed to cover goods and equipment in transit, whether domestically or internationally. It provides financial protection against accidental damage, theft, or loss, helping businesses safeguard the value of their shipments. Policies can be customised to include multiple transit methods, high-value cargo, or specialised equipment, ensuring comprehensive protection for all transport activities.

A typical Marine Transit Insurance policy can provide cover for:

• Loss or damage to goods while in transit by road, rail, sea, or air
• Accidental damage during loading, unloading, or handling of goods
• Theft, pilferage, or non-delivery of insured cargo during transit
• Loss or damage while goods are temporarily stored in transit or at a third-party facility
• General average and salvage contributions (where applicable under marine cargo policies)
