Goods protection during Marine and Transit Insurance

To protect your goods (cargo and stock) whilst making their way from A to B, insurance has to be flexible, and specialised as it is subjected to many different stages and risks, encompassing transportation by Sea, Air, Road, Rail, Post, or any combination of them.

Marine and Transit insurance is design to ensure the owner of the goods will be reimbursed if any physical loss or damage occurs as a result of a peril (fire, flood etc) during the transit. There are many risks which goods face as they move between countries despite improvements in packing, storage and methods of transportation. Loss or damage from accidents, breakages, theft, wet damage and hijack are common problems.
