Marine Transit
Marine Transit Insurance provides protection for goods and cargo while they are being transported—whether by road, rail, sea, or air. Designed to safeguard businesses from the financial impact of loss or damage during transit, this cover is essential for companies that import, export, distribute, or regularly move goods within Australia or overseas.
From raw materials and finished products to specialised equipment, Marine Transit Insurance ensures your goods are protected throughout their journey, giving you confidence and continuity in your supply chain.
What This Insurance Typically Covers
Accidental Loss or Damage in Transit
Protection for goods that are damaged, destroyed, or lost due to accidents during transportation.
Theft or Pilferage
Cover if goods are stolen, go missing, or are tampered with while in transit.
Loading and Unloading Risks
Protection for goods while being packed, loaded, and unloaded—times when damage is most likely to occur.
Fire, Collision & Overturning
Cover for events such as vehicle accidents, vessel collisions, overturning of trucks, or derailments.
Weather-Related Events
Protection against storms, rough seas, water damage, or other natural events that occur during transit (depending on policy terms).
Domestic & International Transit
Options available for goods moved within Australia, exported overseas, or imported into the country.
Storage During Transit (Optional)
Cover for temporary storage of goods while they are part of the transit process.
Available as Standalone or Part of a Business Package
Marine Transit Insurance can be arranged as a standalone policy or included as part of a broader Business Insurance Package. Bundling transit cover with other protections—such as property, liability, theft, and business interruption—provides a more complete risk management solution and helps simplify insurance administration.
