Marine Cargo Insurance
Our Marine Cargo insurance provides comprehensive protection for world-wide general cargo risks. This includes primary and excess coverage for both transit and stock, safeguarding your assets during sea, air, or land transport.
We cover Fortune 500 companies for stock and transit, especially assured with specialist and high-value exposures; this may include hi-tech organisations, major power companies and satellite companies. We also underwrite general cargo in transit, project cargo and space.
We aim to write a broad spectrum of business to both the large and niche brokers, working closely with intermediaries to provide insurance solutions to their clients’ requirements. We take pride in the levels of service and technical expertise we offer and, in our willingness, to view more complex business.
