Marine insurance protects the property moving between your business and its destination, whether it travels by sea, air, road or rail. ![Cargo shipping containers in transit](https://www.coverbuddies.com/hubfs/4-Jun-15-2023-06-19-42-3141-AM.png)   [GET A MARINE INSURANCE QUOTE](https://www.coverbuddies.com/request-information-commercial?hsLang=en) ## What it covers Marine cargo insurance covers a wide range of goods and merchandise during transit, including raw materials, components, finished products, machinery, office furniture, samples, engineers' tools and exhibition materials. Essentially, it can cover anything being transported from one place to another, whether by sea, air, road or rail. Covered 'maritime perils' typically include sinking, stranding, collision, fire, war perils, piracy, theft, capture, jettison and washing overboard. Insurers can also extend cover to other transport modes for risks such as crashing, derailment and overturning. ## Common exclusions - Loss or damage from the inherent nature or vice of the goods (such as spoilage of perishable items) - Loss or damage caused by delay in transportation - Loss or damage arising from the insolvency or financial default of the carrier - Loss or damage due to insufficient or unsuitable packing materials - Loss or damage from acts of war, terrorism or nuclear incidents ## Related areas within marine insurance Marine insurance is a wide field. Depending on your business, you may need a more specific type of cover: - **Marine liability insurance** - **Goods-in-transit insurance (GIT)** - **Freight forwarders insurance** — for logistics businesses - **Warehousemen insurance** — for warehouse operators - **Carrier liability insurance** - **4PL insurance** ## Who typically needs it Any business that ships, receives or stores goods in transit — importers, exporters, manufacturers, retailers and logistics operators. ## How Cover Buddies helps We help you compare options and set up the right policy for how your goods move, so you deal with one team instead of several insurers. ## Common questions ### Does this only cover sea transport? No. While marine insurance began with sea transport, it has evolved to cover goods moving by air, road and rail too. ### Who can insure marine cargo? Anyone with an insurable interest in the goods being transported, as defined under the Marine Insurance Act. ### What if my need is more specific than general cargo cover? If you need a specific type of cover, such as freight forwarders, warehousemen or carrier liability insurance, we can help with that directly — get in touch and we'll point you to the right policy.
