What Ocean Marine Cargo coverage includes

Ocean cargo insurance covers your goods from origin to destination, since carriers' liability is limited by law, and underwriters price it on commodity, routes, packing and annual shipments.

  • All-risk cargo - Physical loss or damage to goods in transit.
  • General average - Your share of costs when a vessel is saved at sea.
  • Warehouse to warehouse - From the supplier's door to your final destination.
  • Air and truck legs - Inland and air portions of the same shipment.
  • Theft and shortage - Pilferage and non-delivery of packages.

Good to know: an annual open cargo policy is usually cheaper than buying insurance shipment by shipment, and it covers you automatically.

Not covered: improper packing, delay and loss of market, inherent vice of the goods, and war and strikes unless endorsed.
