FAQ

Who should consider Marine Transit Insurance?

Marine transit insurance is essential for businesses that ship or receive goods, whether domestically or internationally. This type of coverage protects cargo during transportation across land and sea, offering peace of mind and financial security in case of loss or damage.

Marine insurance is especially valuable for:

  • Importers managing overseas shipments and customs risks
  • Exporters ensuring safe delivery of goods to global markets

Whether you’re moving freight by truck, ship, or rail, marine transit insurance helps safeguard your business operations and bottom line.

What does Marine Transit Insurance cover?

Marine transit insurance offers flexible protection for goods in transit, whether you’re shipping across Australia or internationally. The type of coverage you choose depends on your business needs and the nature of your cargo.

Depending on the policy, marine insurance can cover:

  • Goods in transit by land, sea, or air
  • Import and export shipments across borders
  • Loss or damage due to accidents, theft, or natural disasters
  • Storage during transit at ports or warehouses
  • Customs delays and disruptions

Whether you’re an importer, exporter, or freight handler, marine transit insurance helps protect your cargo and your bottom line.

What Marine Transit Insurance Typically Doesn’t Cover

While marine transit insurance offers broad protection for goods in transit, it’s important to understand what’s not included. Exclusions, excess payments, and liability limits can vary depending on your insurer and policy type.

Generally, marine insurance policies do not cover:

  • Consequential loss or loss of market value
  • War-related risks or political unrest
  • Delays in transit not caused by insured events
  • Inherent vice, damage resulting from the natural characteristics of the goods themselves (e.g. spoilage, corrosion)

Understanding these exclusions helps businesses make informed decisions and avoid unexpected costs when shipping goods locally or internationally.
