Inland/Ocean Marine

International and Domestic Cargo

Do you ship goods internationally by air or sea? If so, you'll find the going easier knowing The Hartford will protect you from loss or damage to your cargo . . . whether it's at the warehouse, being installed, in a processing center, traveling with sales reps, or on exhibit overseas. Among the coverages we offer:

Ocean Cargo Choice.  No matter where you ship your goods to, or from, the journey will be smoother when The Hartford insures your cargo. That's because The Hartford's policy is packed with benefits, including:

  • Extensive coverage from the point of shipment to the point of destination and while in transit in between
  • Coverage for all lawfully shipped goods except for certain types of property specified in the policy or not properly disclosed to the underwriter
  • Automatic coverage for concealed damages - with no time limit for inspection
  • Coverage for shortages discovered from intermodal shipping containers

Motor Truck Cargo Liability. More goods are transported by truck within the U.S. than by any other mode of transportation. Even goods that are shipped by air, rail or inland waterways typically spend time in transit on trucks. These goods may be damages, spoiled or otherwise unavailable for delivery when a truck breaks down or is involved in an accident. With Motor Truck Cargo Liability from The Hartford, carriers for hire can be confident their contractual liability for damage to goods is covered.

Shipper’s Interest. Does your company ship goods that it owns? Is your business responsible for insuring the goods of others that are being shipped? This coverage will protect your financial interest in those goods.

In the event of a conflict between the terms contained herein and the policy, the policy terms and conditions will prevail.
