Protecting Your Goods in Transit
Transporting goods, whether by sea, air, or land, comes with inherent risks. Cargo Insurance provides a safety net for businesses and individuals, ensuring that your shipments are protected from unforeseen damages, losses, or delays during transit.
Whether you’re shipping domestically or internationally, cargo insurance offers peace of mind that your valuable goods are covered from the point of origin to their final destination.
Why Choose Cargo Insurance?
Shipping cargo can expose your goods to a range of risks, including accidents, theft, natural disasters, or delays. Cargo insurance helps mitigate these risks by providing comprehensive coverage, allowing you to focus on your core business without worrying about potential financial losses. Key reasons to opt for cargo insurance include:
- Financial Protection: Safeguard your business from the financial impact of damaged, lost, or stolen goods.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Cover goods transported by sea, air, or land, and protect against common transit risks like fire, theft, and weather-related damage.
- Peace of Mind: Rest assured knowing that your shipments are covered, whether you’re sending goods across the country or overseas.
Key Features of Cargo Insurance
Comprehensive Risk Coverage Cargo insurance covers a wide range of risks during the transportation of goods, including:
- Accidents: Damage due to collisions, sinking, or accidents involving trucks, planes, or ships.
- Natural Disasters: Coverage for losses resulting from storms, floods, earthquakes, or other natural events.
- Theft or Piracy: Protection against cargo theft or piracy while in transit.
Protection Across All Modes of Transport Whether your cargo is being transported by sea, air, rail, or road, cargo insurance provides coverage that meets the specific needs of each mode of transport:
- Sea Freight: Protection for goods shipped via ocean, covering risks like ship damage, piracy, or cargo overboard.
- Air Freight: Coverage for goods transported by air, ensuring they reach their destination safely and intact.
- Land Transport: Protection for cargo transported by road or rail, covering risks such as accidents, theft, or vehicle breakdowns.
Partial and Total Loss Coverage
- Total Loss: Full coverage in cases where the entire shipment is lost, such as when a vessel sinks or a truck is involved in a serious accident.
- Partial Loss: Coverage for situations where only part of the shipment is damaged or lost during transit.
General Average Protection In the event of an emergency where cargo is deliberately sacrificed to save a ship or reduce damage, cargo insurance covers the financial contribution that cargo owners must make, known as “general average.”
Customizable Insurance Plans Cargo insurance plans can be tailored to fit your unique shipping needs. From all-risk policies that cover a wide array of perils to named-peril policies focused on specific risks, you can choose the coverage that best aligns with your business operations.
Additional Coverage Options
- War and Strikes Coverage: An optional extension that covers risks from wars, strikes, riots, and civil commotion.
- Contingency Insurance: Protects the seller if the buyer fails to insure the goods properly, ensuring the seller can still make a claim in case of loss.

Cargo insurance is essential for:
- Manufacturers: Protect your raw materials and finished goods as they move through the supply chain.
- Importers and Exporters: Ensure that international shipments are covered from departure to arrival.
- Retailers and Wholesalers: Safeguard your inventory in transit to prevent financial losses from damaged or stolen goods.
