Online Marine Cargo Freight Insurance Quotes
By R. Schwarz

Marine Cargo may be separated into Conventional Cargo and Specialised Cargo.

Conventional Cargo includes:

 

 

• combined cargo, import/export and within Australia

 

 

• annual import/export, and

 

 

• single transit risks.

Specialised Cargo can also include:

 

 

• fruit and vegetables

 

 

• bulk commodities

 

 

• livestock

 

 

• cargo loss of profits, and

 

 

• project cargo

Marine Cargo insurance will cover you for loss or damage to goods in transit either within Australia or imports/exports to and from Australia or a combination of all three.

Based on the Institute of London Underwriters' wordings for road, air and sea travel, local insurer Marine Cargo insurance products can be arranged and placed on an "all risks" or restricted cover basis.

There are three types of marine cargo insurance coverage available:

Institute Cargo Clause (A) covers all risks of loss or damage to cargo except those excluded by the standard exclusions, such as delay, ordinary loss in weight or volume, ordinary wear and tear, insufficient and unsuitable packing and inherent vice.

Institute Cargo Clauses (B) and (C) provide less comprehensive cover.
