Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about marine cargo insurance in Oregon
What is marine cargo insurance?
Marine cargo insurance covers goods in transit whether by ocean vessel, truck, rail, or air. It protects against physical loss or damage to your cargo from perils including fire, theft, collision, sinking, and weather events. It is essential for Oregon businesses that import, export, or regularly ship goods.
Does my commercial property insurance cover goods in transit?
Standard commercial property policies typically cover goods only while on your premises. Once goods leave your facility, they are generally not covered by property insurance. You need inland marine or cargo insurance to protect goods while in transit.
What is the difference between inland marine and ocean cargo insurance?
Inland marine insurance covers goods transported within the United States by truck, rail, or air. Ocean cargo insurance covers goods transported internationally by ocean vessel. Many Oregon businesses need both types of coverage depending on their supply chain and distribution channels.
What is general average in marine insurance?
General average is a maritime law principle that requires all parties in a sea voyage to share the cost of losses incurred to save the ship and cargo. If a ship captain jettisons cargo to save the vessel, all cargo owners share the loss proportionally. Ocean cargo insurance covers your general average contribution.
Do freight brokers need cargo insurance?
Freight brokers typically need freight broker liability insurance also called contingent cargo insurance to cover claims from shippers when cargo is lost or damaged by carriers they arranged. This provides an additional layer of protection beyond the motor carrier's cargo liability.
