Industry — Logistics & Marine
Protection for goods, vessels, storage, transport and regional trade.
Logistics and marine operators manage exposure across goods in transit, vessels, warehousing, fleet and regional trade routes.
Industry Overview
As a regional trade hub, UAE-based logistics and marine businesses move goods across multiple borders, modes of transport and storage points — each with its own risk profile and often its own contractual insurance requirement.
Key Risk Landscape
- Loss or damage to cargo in transit by sea, air or road.
- Physical loss of, or damage to, owned or chartered vessels.
- Liability arising from freight forwarding and handling activities.
- Damage to goods held in warehousing and storage.
- Fleet and third-party liability across transport operations.
Insurance Priorities
Cargo, hull and liability cover should be reviewed together, since a single shipment or voyage can trigger more than one policy depending on where the loss occurs.
Common Gaps We See
- Cargo cover not matched to actual shipment values or Incoterms.
- Warehouse stock not separately insured from goods in transit.
- Freight forwarders' liability excluding specific trade lanes or cargo types.
