Marine & Goods in Transit

Protect your goods, stock, tools and equipment while they are being transported or temporarily stored.

Cover that moves with your goods.

Goods and equipment are often at their most vulnerable once they leave your premises. They may be damaged in transit, lost during handling, stolen from temporary storage or affected by an accident while being transported.

Marine and goods in transit insurance helps protect property as it moves between suppliers, customers, worksites and storage locations. Cover can apply to domestic and international transit by road, sea or air, depending on your business and the policy arranged.

Property cover may stop at your front door.

Standard commercial property insurance is generally focused on assets kept at an insured location. Once stock, tools or equipment are being transported, a separate form of cover may be needed to protect them throughout the journey.

This is particularly important for importers, exporters, distributors, trades and businesses that regularly move valuable property. A single lost shipment or damaged item can create a significant financial loss, disrupt customer orders and delay ongoing work.

Domestic and international shipments

Protection can be arranged for goods being transported within New Zealand or moving through an international supply chain.

Tools and equipment in transit

Cover for insured tools, machinery or specialist equipment while travelling between premises, customers and worksites.

Temporary storage and handling

Protection can extend to certain periods of storage, loading, unloading and handling during the insured journey.

Protection across your supply chain.

The right cover depends on what is being moved, how it is packaged, who is transporting it and where responsibility passes between each party. Supplier contracts, freight terms and carrier liability can all affect where your business remains exposed.

We work with you to understand how goods move through your business, from collection and storage through to final delivery. This allows us to arrange cover that follows your property through the supply chain rather than leaving protection behind when it leaves your premises.

Protect your goods wherever business takes them.
