Cargo Insurance
Cargo insurance is a specialised form of marine/transit insurance that focuses specifically on the goods being transported rather than the vessel or vehicle. For Indian businesses engaged in domestic distribution and international trade, cargo insurance provides crucial protection against damage from handling, weather, accidents, pilferage, and total loss during transit. India's GST-unified national market has dramatically increased inter-state goods movement, while exports and imports through ports like JNPT, Mundra, and Chennai handle billions in cargo value. Policies can be structured as specific voyage covers, open policies for regular shippers, or annual covers. The scope ranges from basic fire and total loss to comprehensive all-risk coverage under Institute Cargo Clauses.
