Cargo insurance is an insurance policy designed to protect against loss of or damage to your goods while they are being transported. The policy is meant to indemnify you if there is any loss or damage to your cargo. Cargo insurance would cover the goods while they are being transported over sea, air and land. This also includes parcel post and cargo/packages by courier service.

Although the term “marine cargo insurance” is sometimes used, it actually includes coverage for the land transit commencing from the moment the goods leave the storage until they arrive at the final warehouse.
