Insurance and risk advice for marine and cargo.
Marine risk starts the moment goods begin moving.
Businesses that import, export, manufacture, distribute or transport goods rely on supply chains that can stretch across multiple carriers, locations and jurisdictions.
Loss, damage or delay in transit can create significant financial consequences, particularly where high-value goods, specialist equipment or time-sensitive shipments are involved.
Omnisure takes the time to understand how your goods move, where responsibility sits and the risks involved at each stage of transit, helping create an insurance programme around the practical realities of your supply chain.
Marine risk can change at every stage of the journey.
01.
Loss or damage in transit
Goods can be lost, damaged or destroyed while moving by sea, road, rail or air.
02.
Loading and unloading
Damage can occur before the journey even begins or during transfer between vehicles, vessels, warehouses and terminals.
03.
Theft and pilferage
High-value goods can be particularly exposed while in transit, storage or temporary holding locations.
04.
International shipments
Importers and exporters can face additional complexity around long-distance transport, multiple carriers and changing responsibilities.
05.
Supply chain interruption
A damaged or delayed shipment can affect production, customer commitments and the wider operation of the business.
06.
Complex ownership and responsibility
Contracts, Incoterms and transport arrangements can influence where responsibility for goods begins and ends.

A practical approach to marine and cargo risk.
01.
Understand the movement of goods
We look at what is being transported, where it is going, how it is moving and who is responsible at each stage.
02.
Identify the points of exposure
We consider loading, storage, transit, transfer and delivery so the programme reflects the risks across the whole journey.
03.
Review as the supply chain changes
New suppliers, markets, routes and transport arrangements can all alter the risk profile. We help keep cover aligned as the business evolves.
