Marine Cargo

Cover for Goods on the Move

Many jurisdictions require marine insurance to be placed locally for imports. We issue policies compliant with local customs and port authority requirements, with same-day certificate turnaround so your clearing agent isn't held up at port or airport.

What's Covered

Coverage that pays out when it matters

Every marine cargo policy we place includes the following as standard. Optional extensions are available depending on your risk profile.

  • Institute Cargo Clauses (A) — all-risks cover
  • Institute Cargo Clauses (B) and (C) — named perils
  • War and strikes cover
  • Air, sea, road and rail transit
  • Single-shipment and annual open cover
  • Inland and cross-border transit
  • General average and salvage charges

FAQ

Quick answers

How fast can I get a marine certificate?+

For open-cover clients, certificates are issued within the same working hour. For single shipments, usually within 24 hours of receiving the invoice and bill of lading.

Is marine insurance mandatory?+

In many markets, yes — regulators increasingly require imports to be insured with a locally licensed insurer. We confirm the rules for your specific route and handle compliance.
