Marine insurance is one of earliest forms of insurance business. There are basically two different types of cover, the liability insurance, often described as marine liability insurance, and the property damage insurance.
The actual transport insurance (goods in transit insurance) is an all risks cover (property insurance) with a few exclusions concerning non insurable events. It closes the financial gap between the amount of legal liability and the actual value of goods. Transport insurance provides coverage for the period between departure of the consignment until its arrival at destination.
Globalization requires ever longer haulage routes through countries considered as politically and economically instable. Problems of piracy and terrorist attacks increase the transport risk. Not only large corporations but medium sized industrial companies and businesses from the retail sector require comprehensive insurance cover. Transport risks are often beyond the control of the involved parties.
