Marine Transit Insurance

Securing your shipments

Marine transit insurance is essential for protection of your valuable import or export cargo whilst in transit. With Insurance House and our team of marine transit experts, you can access policies that give you the tightest shipping and transport protection for the best value.

Our brokers offer marine cargo insurance products based on the Institute of London Underwriters’ wordings for road, rail, air and sea travel. These can be issued on an ‘all risks’ or restricted cover basis. Choose from the following two kinds of marine cover:

Marine Cargo Insurance

• Goods in Transit “floor to floor” cover for single transits
• Home contents in transit cover
• Covers loss or damage to goods in transit in Australia or imports/exports to and from Australia

Marine Carriers insurance

• Transits of cargo whether by road, rail, air or sea.
• Can cover stock, equipment, livestock, refrigerated produce, liquids etc
• Covers truck owner-operator and small fleet clients against loss or damage to goods in transit in Australia.

Can you carry the risk?

For many transport operators it is tempting to let insurance go, particularly if your loads are not valuable enough to insure. But often it can be difficult to quantify the true value of your load and the number of exposures you face.

Insurance House’s marine policies can cover everything from:

• Shipment items such as stock, equipment, livestock, refrigerated produce and liquids, to
• Additional expenses such as failure of refrigerated machinery, shedding of load, loading and unloading, various livestock risks, clean-up costs, packaging, and resecuring.
