Marine insurance protects parties involved in shipping from financial losses. It covers risks like accidents, natural disasters, war, piracy and more. There are various types of marine insurance policies that cover vessels under construction, cargo, and increased ship values. Key parties in marine insurance are the carrier who owns the ship, the charterer who finds carriers, the consignee who receives the shipment, and the consignor who sends it. A bill of lading is a critical document that outlines shipping details and is required for claims of lost, damaged or delayed cargo.

9. SEVERAL TYPES OF SPECIALIST POLICY
NEWBUILDING RISKS: cover the risk of damage to the hull whilst it is under
construction.
YACHT INSURANCE: liability coverage. Smaller vessels are typically
underwritten on a 'binding authority'.
WAR RISKS: an attack would be covered for this type of policy if is classified
as a “riot”.
INCREASED VALUE: protect the shipowner against any difference between
insured value of the vessel and market value.
CARGO INSURANCE: is a “sub-branch” of marine insurance with coverage on
an A, B, or C basis, A having the best cover and C the most restricted.
10. MARINE CARGO INSURANCE covers physical damage or loss of
merchandise transported by sea, land or air.
The coverage of the products can be:
• All risks: it covers physical damage or loss of the goods and partial
damage for any external theft or catastrophe.
• Total loss cargo insurance: it covers against total loss or physical
damages.
The companies send their products with the expectancy that they would
arrive in perfect conditions at the destination port, they spend money in
carriers who assume the responsibility of a careful transportation of
goods.
11. Parties Involved
• Carrier- a transport company that ships a product
for the general public
• Charter- finds the right carrier for the
customer
• Consignee- the party who the shipment is
being delivered to
• Consignor- the party sending the shipment
12. The Carrier
• A common Carrier
serves the general public
• These are the main
shipping companies
• They own the ships
and thus the Marine
Insurance for their
vessels
• Examples include
Hapag-Lloyd and
one of the oldest
Maersk.
13. The Charter
• A basic voyage charter is hiring a vessel for a
voyage between a load port and a discharge port.
• The Charter does the actual hiring and renting of a
vessel and crew. In some cases they own the actual
cargo.
14. The consignee
• In a contract, the consignee is the person to whom
the shipment is to be delivered to.
• The Bill of Lading require the good to be delivered to
the named consignee.
15. The Consignor
• Is the person sending a shipment to be delivered.
• Some carriers, use the term "sender" or "shipper”
however the legal term is "consignor”
16. Bill of Lading
• Document issued by carrier/agent to the shipper as a
contract for the shipping of goods.
• Contains:- Port of departure and arrival
- name of ship
- departure and arrival dates
- itemised list of goods being shipped
- cargo weight and volume
- freight weght and amount
A Bill of Lading is required in all claims for
compensation for example loss, damage or delay in
arrival
17. Case Study
• Court case in which damage had taken place in both the
shipping and land transportation of goods.
• Court ruled that in the event of damage or loss
caused to goods the carrier must state in detail
exactly what has happened to the goods being
shipped, failure to do this will result in it being assumed that
the carrier acted with neglect and therefore the carrier
may not limit its liability this is more often the case when
goods are found not to have been secured correctly.
18. Claims
• Claims made for loss or damage to goods at
sea are governed by the Carriage of Goods At
Sea Act
• One of the key points of this is that the
shipowner is in charge of the goods from
loading to unloading unless under special
circumstances covered in one of the 17 acts of
liability for example an act of god
