Marine / Cargo Insurance
Covers goods in international and domestic transit by sea, air, or road: import, export, and inland movement on Institute Cargo Clauses.
Marine cargo insurance covers goods being moved internationally and domestically: predominantly by sea, but also by air, road, and rail. The wording is built on the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC A, B, and C), an internationally standardised framework that determines what perils are covered. Cargo insurance is distinct from the carrier's own liability, which is severely limited by international convention, for any meaningful import or export value, the cargo owner needs their own cover.
What it covers
- Loss or damage to cargo during international and domestic transit
- Cover under Institute Cargo Clauses A (all risks), B (named perils), or C (major casualties only)
- Marine, air, road, and rail transit segments
- Loading and unloading at ports, airports, and warehouses
- General Average and salvage charges
Who it is for
- Importers receiving cargo through Mombasa, Naivasha, or JKIA
- Exporters shipping out of Kenya: tea, coffee, horticulture, manufactured goods
- Freight forwarders and clearing agents arranging cover on behalf of clients
