Marine cargo insurance for businesses moving goods by sea and through international shipping chains, including port, customs and multimodal handover risk.
Marine cargo insurance is usually the right page when sea freight, port handling, overseas movement and international paperwork are central to the exposure. It is especially relevant for importers, exporters and logistics businesses moving goods through ocean freight and multimodal shipping chains.
Built for importers, exporters, wholesalers and logistics businesses using sea freight.
Focused on international shipping chains, port handling and cross-border documentation.
Useful for containerised, project, regular and higher-value marine movements.
Helps separate sea-freight risk from domestic transit-only pages.
This page is most relevant when goods spend meaningful time in sea transit or when the international leg of the journey creates the most uncertainty.
Marine cargo losses often arise from longer transit chains, more handovers and greater uncertainty over where and when the damage occurred.
We can help you separate cargo, transit, liability, warehouse and supply-chain exposure so you get a cleaner recommendation instead of a generic package, with quote support available within 24 hours for many UK freight enquiries.
International cargo needs more than a generic transit label. The policy wording should reflect marine realities, not just a broad transport description.
Speak to a UK broker who can help map the exposures in your operation, compare insurer appetite and structure cover around the way your freight business actually works.
We do not treat freight insurance as a single product. We break down cargo, transit, liability and storage exposure so you can see exactly where your risk sits and avoid gaps that only show up at claim stage.

Common concerns include damage, theft, non-delivery, rough handling, wet damage, port issues and other international transit losses.
Goods type, routes, shipment values, packing, claims history, destination profile and accumulation risk are common rating factors.
Marine cargo focuses more directly on sea-freight and international shipping chains, where ports, overseas handling and documentation add complexity.
