What is Marine Insurance
Cargo Covered, From Wharf to Warehouse
Marine insurance protects goods and shipping interests against physical loss or damage during carriage by sea, air or land. Policies can be quoted as cargo, hull & machinery, or liability (P&I). Cargo cover commonly uses Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) A/B/C – ICC A being the broadest (‘all risks’) option and ICC C the most limited. You can buy warehouse-to-warehouse wording to keep cover continuous across multiple legs.
Why Marine Insurance Matters in India
Trade Moves Fast – So Should Your Cover
India is a major trading nation; damage or loss can halt supply chains and squeeze working capital.
Exporters/importers need reliable cover to satisfy LCs and commercial terms (CIF, CFR, etc.).
Inland container depots (ICDs), ports and multimodal moves bring local complexities – marine insurance stitches the gaps.

FAQ's
What’s the difference between ICC A, B & C?
ICC A is the broadest (near all-risks), ICC B covers named perils plus some, and ICC C is the most restricted. Higher cover = higher premium.
Who should arrange the marine insurance - buyer or seller?
Depends on Incoterms. Under CIF the seller arranges cover; under FOB the buyer usually needs to. Check your contract and LC instructions.
Does marine insurance cover theft at a port or warehouse?
Yes, if the policy includes warehouse-to-warehouse wording or specifies that storage; otherwise gaps can arise between legs.
How fast are cargo claims settled?
Simple cargo claims with clear documentation can be closed in weeks; complex losses involving salvage or surveyor investigations can take months.
Are shipments to sanctioned countries covered?
Not automatically. Political and sanction risks require insurer approval and special wording.
What documents are needed for a marine claim?
Bill of lading/airway bill, packing list, commercial invoice, surveyor report, and any customs/port documents.
