Marine Insurance encompasses a range of products that covers the risks associated with the transportation of goods and other items by sea. It provides financial protection against various perils that may occur during the transportation of goods, such as accidents, natural disasters, theft, and damage between the points of origin and the final destination.
Marine Insurance is crucial for global shipping and logistics. It offers vital financial protection against the risks of transporting goods and commodities by sea. As the backbone of international trade, Marine Insurance plays a key role in ensuring smooth and reliable movement of goods across borders. This allows businesses to manage their risks effectively and stay competitive in the market.
Our Marine Insurance is an agreement between Leadway and you, where we agree to provide financial compensation for specific losses or damages that may happen during the transportation of your goods and (or) even the vessel transporting it.

Whether you’re a large corporation shipping valuable industrial equipment or a small exporter transporting agricultural products, the financial risks of moving goods can be significant.

What Affects Your Marine Insurance Premium?
The cost of your marine insurance premium is influenced by several factors, including:
- Type of Cargo: The nature and value of the goods you’re transporting can significantly impact the premium. High-value or hazardous cargoes typically command higher rates.
- Mode of Transportation: The type of vessel or mode of transportation used, such as a container ship versus a tanker, can affect the perceived risk and, consequently, the premium.
- Extent of Coverage: They are different types of Marine Insurance policies and they cover different things. While some may cover only the goods being transported others cover both the goods being transported and vessels used.
- Trade Route: The geographical location and the specific route taken can influence the premium. More dangerous or politically unstable regions generally require higher coverage costs.
