Did you know?
Certain insurance companies provide global marine insurance for all types of marine risks. This ranges from protecting the single vessels to complex multinational businesses
Carriers are not responsible for damaged merchandise. In other words, damaged goods are the shipper or consignee’s responsibility. International shipping laws favor the carrier, not the shipper or consignee
Marine insurance covers cost of emergency storage. Emergency storage might be required in case there is an emergency like extreme weather conditions, riots or some natural disaster that prevents the cargo to reach its destination
All-Risk policies do not cover all occurrences. A common mistake when reading an all-risk insurance policy is to think that the policy will automatically cover any accident involving your merchandise. This is not always the case. Instead, most all-risk policies lay out a specific set of situations they do not cover (exclusion). Occurrences not listed there can then be assumed to be covered under an all-risk policy
