Marine Cargo

Marine Cargo Insurance can be defined as the movement of goods or services by land sea or air. Any commercial activity that requires its goods moved will require cargo/transit insurance. Transit has been legally defined as “The passage of Goods from one place to another”.

Transit insurance provides protection for the movement of goods, either the raw material coming into the premises or the finished goods/produce going out. Sometimes the goods are imported or exported, often by Third Party Carriers so a good understanding of who is responsible at every point of the journey is important. This can often vary with each Supplier, Distributor or Retailer. Reliance should not be place on the Hauliers own insurance protection especially if they are transporting goods under CMR or RHA conditions. In such cases cover is restricted and additional insurance is required.
