The importance of Marine Cargo Cover and the General Average Clause:

Marine Cargo Insurance doesn’t just cover sea cargo but also applies to goods being sent by air, road and rail.

General Average relates only to sea freight. General Average covers the instance where damage or loss of certain goods occurs (Such as being thrown overboard) so that the remaining cargo and voyage are saved. Owners of the cargo that is saved have a legal liability to contribute between them to cover the loss of the damaged cargo and this can run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is automatically included in all of our policies.
It’s also important to bear in mind that there are different levels of cover and a handy table has been compiled below:
