Who needs marine cargo insurance?

You need marine cargo insurance if:

• you ship cargo overseas or in New Zealand, and risk loss through damage or loss of products.
• you could be held responsible for your shipment causing damage to others.
• you suffer a loss of profit related to an event covered by a policy extension.

Marine cargo insurance options

We can cover cargo moving anywhere in the world as a one-off or on an ongoing basis. The options are:

• marine open cover, to cover all shipments undertaken annually in New Zealand, worldwide or both.
• individual policies taken for singular or infrequent shipments.

From a risk perspective understanding responsibility between parties can be complex. Our marine brokers can help review the terms of sale before a contract is signed from an insurance point of view.
