Protecting Your Maritime Investments: Explore Marine Insurance Solutions

Marine insurance policy protects individuals or businesses from potential losses or damages incurred while transporting, acquiring, or storing goods from their origin to their ultimate destination. This coverage ensures that any unforeseen mishaps, such as accidents or theft, do not result in significant financial burdens for the insured party throughout the entire journey of their goods.

Importance of Marine Insurance

Marine insurance policy is important for ship owners and carriers to safeguard against losses in water transport. Among road, rail, air, and water transport, water transport poses the highest risks due to natural disasters and other factors that can harm cargo and vessels, and it can cause huge losses to the transporter and ship owners.

An essential element of marine insurance is that a transporter may customize the policy based on ship size, routes, and other important details. Ship captains must strictly follow planned routes and schedules to avoid voiding insurance contracts due to deviations, and to reduce the risk of losing claims due to oversight or negligence. For example, collisions, attacks, or theft during transportation. Marine insurance provides assurance and adaptability in a challenging maritime environment.

Features of Marine Insurance Policy

Here are some key features of the Marine Insurance Policy.

Claims: Marine insurance provides coverage for losses or damage to marine-related assets, such as ships, cargo, and offshore installations. In the event of a covered loss, the insured party (policyholder) can file a claim to receive compensation.

Deliberate Act: Marine insurance excludes coverage for losses resulting from deliberate acts or willful misconduct by the insured. This ensures that insurance is not used to cover illegal activities or fraud.

Period of Marine Insurance: Marine insurance policies have a specified coverage period during which the insured assets are protected. This period is defined in the insurance contract and may vary depending on the nature of the coverage

Contribution: In cases where multiple marine insurance policies cover the same insured interest (e.g., cargo or vessel), the principle of contribution applies. It means that each policy contributes proportionately to the loss, and the insured does not receive more than the actual loss suffered.

Insurable Interest: To have a valid marine insurance contract, the insured must have an insurable interest in the property being insured. It means that the insured must have a financial stake or ownership interest in the vessel or cargo.

Contract of Indemnity: Marine insurance is a contract of indemnity, its purpose is to compensate the insured for their actual financial loss, not to provide a profit. The insurer's liability is limited to the value of the loss or the insured sum, as defined in the policy.

Payment of Premium: The insured is obligated to pay a premium to the insurer in exchange for coverage. The premium amount is determined based on various factors such as the type of coverage, insured value, and risk assessment.
