FAQ

While not always mandatory, insurance is strongly recommended for international shipments.

Coverage may include physical damage, theft, loss, accidents and certain force majeure events depending on policy terms.

No. Carrier liability is often limited under international conventions, making cargo insurance important.

Marine insurance can be arranged for a wide range of cargo, including general cargo, project cargo, machinery, industrial equipment, and other specialised shipments. Coverage is structured based on the cargo type, value, mode of transport, and applicable policy terms.

Marine insurance helps protect businesses against the financial impact of cargo loss or damage during transit. By aligning coverage with shipment value and transit risks, it provides greater financial security, business continuity, and confidence across domestic and international supply chains.
