Marine Cargo Insurance Overview

Cargo insurance provides comprehensive protection for goods and merchandise in transit, covering losses or damages that may occur during transportation by sea, air, or land. This insurance is essential for businesses that ship goods domestically or internationally, ensuring financial protection against unforeseen events that can disrupt supply chains and result in significant financial loss.


Hull Insurance Overview

Hull insurance is a type of marine insurance designed to cover physical damage to a ship or vessel. It provides comprehensive protection for the hull (the main body of the vessel), machinery, and equipment on board against various perils encountered during maritime operations. Hull insurance is essential for shipowners and operators to safeguard their valuable assets against unforeseen risks and ensure business continuity.
