Marine & Transit Insurance
Marine and transit cover protects goods in movement — by sea, air, road, or rail — against loss or damage during transit, split broadly into import, export, and inland cover.
Protection for goods on the move, door to destination
Import and export cover apply to goods crossing India’s borders; inland transit cover applies to domestic movement between two points within India. The right structure depends on where the shipment starts and ends.
Businesses shipping regularly often use an annual open cover instead of insuring each shipment individually — your advisor will confirm which suits your volume.
Why marine & transit cover matters
Import, export, or inland — the right structure matters
Where a shipment starts and ends determines which cover structure actually applies — getting it wrong can leave a gap.
Risk doesn’t end at the border
Seawater damage, jettison, and loss at a port of distress are all real exposures once goods are in transit.
An open cover can suit regular shippers
Businesses shipping often use an annual open cover instead of insuring each shipment individually.
