Insurance connected with the transportation of goods is one of the oldest and most important form of insurance.
Each year, firms ship commodities worth billions of shillings.
These commodities face the risk of loss or damage due to the many perils associated with transportation.
Marine insurance thus helps to protect these firms against financial loss due to damage or loss of their goods.
Essentially, marine cover provides protection against loss or damage caused by marine perils
Marine insurance can take two forms – Marine cargo and Marine hull insurance.
Marine cargo is specific to the goods being transported either by road, rail or air while marine hull is specific to the vessel.
Some of the insured perils under marine include; fire/explosion, breakage, accident, jettison, overturning or derailment of conveyance.
