Frequently Asked Questions
Cargo insurance protects goods in transit against risks like theft, loss, damage, or delays caused by accidents, weather events, handling errors, or piracy. Coverage can apply whether goods are shipped by land, air, or sea. You can choose between all-risk or named-perils policies depending on how comprehensive you need your protection to be.

General average is a long-established principle of maritime law that dates back to Roman times. All stakeholders in a seafaring venture proportionately share any losses resulting from a voluntary sacrifice of part of the ship or cargo in order to save the whole in an emergency situation.
