Marine Cargo Insurance

Marine insurance can trace its origins to the ancient world and back even further to the beginnings of civilization when communities began to trade goods commercially with each other. The oldest known marine insurance policy was on a vessel named Santa Clara, and dated April 24, 1384, covering four bales of textiles on a journey from Pisa to Savona.

The overwhelming majority of this cargo is transported by sea, approximately 80%. Between 1990 and 2021 the volume of seaborne trade has more than doubled from 4 to 11 billion tons. Whilst the Covid pandemic halted this growth, volumes shipped are once again increasing back to pre-pandemic levels and transportation of cargo is vital to the global economy.
