Why marine cargo cover matters
Marine cargo insurance protects goods in transit by sea, air, road, or rail. For importers and exporters, a single loss can affect an entire season's revenue. Specialist cover addresses risks at loading, transit, storage, and delivery — including general average, theft, and damage. Rock Risk focuses on marine cargo — not hull or marine liability for vessels.

Standard transit policies often exclude these risks. Our specialist niche supports importers and exporters moving perishable cargo internationally.
