Cover your goods in transit — by sea, air or road.

Marine Cargo Insurance

Overview

AAR Marine Cargo Insurance protects your goods against loss or damage while they are in transit — whether you are importing, exporting or moving cargo locally, and whether it travels by sea, air or road. It covers both containerised and non-containerised shipments.

You choose the level of cover that matches the value and risk of your shipment, and can quote in multiple currencies to match your invoice. A marine certificate is issued online once cover is confirmed — the document freight forwarders and clearing agents typically require.

Cover is priced from the value of your cargo, the route and the cover level you choose, with a minimum premium applying to smaller shipments. Get a quote and buy online in minutes.
