Marine Cargo
In today's fast-paced global economy, the shipping industry plays a vital role in facilitating the movement of goods across borders. To safeguard against the risks, Marine Cargo Insurance is a crucial tool that provides protection and peace of mind to businesses involved in international trade.
Marine Cargo Insurance is a type of insurance that provides coverage for goods, merchandise, or commodities being transported via water, air, or land. This insurance helps protect you from financial losses that may arise due to damage, theft, or loss of cargo during the transit process.
In some circumstances, all-risk policies may not be provided, so restrictive covers such as Institute Cargo Clauses (B) or (C) 1/1/82 will be provided. Below is a brief cover comparison of the (A), (B), and (C) clauses.
