    What is Warehouses / ICD Property Insurance

    Dry Ports, Godowns, and Insured Goods – All Covered

    Warehouse/ICD property insurance protects goods, the warehouse structure, and on-site equipment against perils such as fire, theft, floods and accidental damage. ICDs (Inland Container Depots) are dry ports handling container storage and customs clearance – their insurance needs often combine property, stock and liability elements.

    Why Is This Policy Vital?

    Because stock sitting still is not risk-free
    • Warehouses hold months of working capital – a single incident can strain liquidity. (Think FMCG pallets or electronics worth crores.)

    • ICDs and multi-modal storage create multi-leg risk exposures; single-policy warehouse wording helps close coverage gaps.

    • Many buyers/suppliers require proof of warehouse cover in supply-chain contracts – it’s commercial hygiene.

    FAQ's

    What’s the difference between warehouse insurance and marine cargo warehouse-to-warehouse?

    Warehouse covers storage on premises; warehouse-to-warehouse (marine wording) extends cover across transit legs between warehouses - useful for ICDs and multimodal moves.

    Do I need separate cover for racking & forklifts?

    Often yes - racking and mechanical handling equipment can be included as a declared item or extension. Check policy schedule.

    How is sum insured set for rotating stock?

    Options include scheduled sums or first-loss % based on turnover - brokers usually recommend first-loss for high-turn inventories.

    Will BI cover replace lost revenue?

    BI (business interruption) covers insured gross profit reduction and continuing costs subject to indemnity period and policy wording. Confirm limits and waiting periods.

    Are ICDs treated differently by insurers?

    ICDs may need combined stock, plant and liability wording because they also handle customs and container storage - discuss specifics with underwriters.

    What documents speed up claims?

    Inventory lists, invoices, surveyor reports, photos, police FIR (if theft), and customs documents for ICD-stored cargo - complete docs speed settlement.
