What to look for in a Ocean Cargo Policy:

Today's typical ocean cargo insurance provides coverage for goods that are shipped, via water or air from the point of origin to destination typically via marine cargo transport, internationally. Ocean marine cargo insurance covers many perils such as inclement weather or theft.  Many companies that frequently ship product buy annual policies which cover their shipment on an annual basis for total goods shipped where as companies that ship goods infrequently or one time can insure a single shipment. It is important to note that ocean marine cargo insurance ceases to cover the insureds goods once they have made land fall unless the policy contains coverage for inland transit also called inland marine insurance.  These insurance product cover both the insured's loss of goods or products in transit and the policyholder's liability arising from loss or damage to the property of another that is in their care, custody or control.  Exclusions can be found for countries banned from doing business with companies in the United States including Iran and some African countries.
 
Why would a company need Ocean Cargo insurance?

Consider the following loss scenario: A cargo of custom designer clothing arrives at its final insured port of destination in Long Beach, California. The following morning when the LTL Carriers arrives to inventory the cargo, they discover the container the clothing was shipped in has been stolen. The cost of the stolen goods is $230,000 but the insured's Ocean Cargo policy responds to this loss.
