Marine Cargo Insurance Options

Download Brochure
All-Risk Insurance
Provides the broadest form of protection available. Goods are covered for loss or damage without the need to prove liability. An easy way to remember “All-Risk” coverage is “everything is covered, except what is excluded.” Typical exclusions include improper packing, inherent vice or rejection of goods by Customs.
Free of Particular Average (FPA) Insure:
Offers less protection than “All-Risk” coverage, but is a good option for commodities like used goods, waste materials and scrap metal. A good way to remember FPA coverage is “the only covered losses are specifically named.” Perils covered under FPA include: sinking, collision, General Average, fire and washing overboard, to name a few.
With Average (WA) Insurance:
Extends FPA to cover heavy weather. Many shippers choose to add theft, pilferage and non-delivery to WA and FPA.

What our customers are saying

Joe Raphael
CEO
"Reliable Partner"
I work with Transworld Logistics Group for the past 24 years, the company handled our purchases from groupage to shipping from different states in USA and Canada. During this period and with more than 500 forty feet containers shipped, TLG have always shown professionalism, great communication and excellent service. Thank you TLG

"Outstanding Service "
This company has given me a very reasonable price and has been on top of everything. Any question I had, as nervous as I was they answered it right away and responded very fast. Bottom line, I received my container earlier than what I expected and the price that was given to me has never changed, received everything as I packed it, sealed it and nothing damaged. If I can give Ziad, Carla and the rest of the crew 10 stars, I will.

"Amazing Service"
We faced a major claim with another provider before switching to TLG. Their team walked us through the entire transition and provided an amazing onboarding experience. When we had a small cargo issue last quarter, they responded immediately and resolved it without the usual back-and-forth. That level of service is rare, and we’re glad to have them in our corner.

Director
"Time Oriented"
Very professional and trucks come on time! Couldn’t ask for a better Logistics company!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Marine Cargo Insurance?
Marine Cargo Insurance protects your goods against loss, damage, or theft during ocean transit from origin port to destination port. It covers FCL/LCL containers, breakbulk cargo, and valuables shipped via sea freight against marine perils like sinking, collision, fire, and theft. Policies are available all-risk or named perils, with options for extended inland transit coverage. Contact us to secure comprehensive protection for your international shipments.
How Does Marine Cargo Insurance Work?
Marine Cargo Insurance activates from the moment your goods leave the supplier's warehouse until they reach the buyer's destination (warehouse-to-warehouse coverage). When a covered peril occurs - such as vessel sinking, collision, fire, storm damage, or theft - you file a claim with supporting documentation (bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, survey report). Our claims team coordinates rapid assessment, cargo salvage/recovery, and compensation based on your policy's insured value, ensuring minimal disruption to your supply chain. Coverage follows standard Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC A all-risk, ICC B/C named perils) with options for war risks and strikes.
Marine Cargo Insurance Can Be Purchased From?
Freight forwarders like Transworld Logistics Group, specialized marine insurance brokers, cargo insurance marketplaces (online platforms), or directly from insurance companies with marine cargo departments. Easiest option would be to purchase it through your freight forwarder: they handle policy issuance, claims coordination, and integrate marine cargo insurance coverage with your ocean shipment booking.
What is General Average?
General average is a maritime law principle where all parties in a sea voyage (ship owner, cargo owners) share the financial losses from an intentional sacrifice made to save the entire ship and cargo from imminent peril. Examples from marine cargo insurance context include: a) ship crew throws 20 containers overboard to lighten ship during storm; b) Ship ballast tanks flooded intentionally to refloat grounded vessel; c) extraordinary salvage/towage costs to save vessel from sinking. Marine cargo insurance covers your proportional contribution, preventing out-of-pocket payment when general average is declared
What does "all-risk" marine cargo coverage mean?
All-risk coverage (Institute Cargo Clauses A) insures against any fortuitous physical loss or damage unless specifically excluded, offering the broadest protection available. Common exclusions include inherent defects, gradual deterioration, or insufficient packaging.
What are the differences between FPA, WA, and all-risk policies?
FPA (Free of Particular Average) covers only total loss or major vessel incidents; WA (With Average) adds partial losses from named perils; all-risk provides comprehensive coverage for most physical damage.
How do I file a marine cargo insurance claim?
Best would be to notify your broker within 24–72 hours of incident, document damage with photos/surveys, and submit claim within policy deadlines (usually 60 days from delivery).
