Marine Insurance

Marine Insurance Global Coverage for Cargo, Vessels & Transit Risks

Whether you’re shipping across oceans or delivering inland, protect your goods, equipment, and reputation with end-to-end marine insurance solutions.

Overview

What Is Marine Insurance?

Marine Insurance protects cargo, ships, marine equipment, and goods in transit against loss or damage during domestic and international transportation.

From port delays and damaged freight to piracy and warehouse fires, marine insurance is essential for importers, exporters, freight forwarders, and businesses that depend on global shipping.

If your goods move, this coverage should too.
