Comprehensive Marine & Logistics Insurance

Global trade relies on complex, interconnected supply chains that face constant threats from extreme weather, geopolitical instability, and logistical bottlenecks. At JLT Insurance Group Holdings Limited, we offer specialized Marine & Logistics insurance designed to secure your cargo, vessels, and revenue from port to port. Operating out of London—the historical heart of global maritime insurance—we possess the expertise and elite market access necessary to underwrite the most complex global transit risks.

Whether you operate a fleet of commercial vessels, manage international freight forwarding operations, or import high-value commodities, we structure policies that provide seamless end-to-end protection. From robust Hull & Machinery coverage to advanced Supply Chain Interruption indemnification, our solutions ensure your maritime and logistics operations remain resilient against the unpredictable nature of international trade.

Hull & Machinery

Protecting the physical assets of your fleet. Coverage for commercial vessels, heavy marine equipment, and maritime machinery against physical loss or damage.

Global Cargo in Transit

Agreed-value protection for your goods across all modes of transport—sea, air, rail, and road—ensuring seamless "warehouse-to-warehouse" security.

Marine Liability (P&I)

High-limit indemnification for third-party property damage, crew injuries, collision liabilities, and complex pollution or environmental cleanup costs.

Supply Chain Interruption

Vital financial protection against revenue loss caused by port blockages, strikes, or delayed arrival of critical components (Delay in Start-Up).

Navigating Global Trade with Confidence

We go far beyond standard cargo and hull policies by offering dynamic risk engineering. Our logistics experts analyze your specific transit routes, storage facilities, and carrier contracts to identify operational vulnerabilities before a voyage even begins. By mitigating these risks upfront, we negotiate broader coverage terms and highly competitive premiums with top-tier Lloyd's of London syndicates.

Should an incident occur—whether a cargo vessel is delayed by extreme weather or goods are damaged in a foreign port—our global network of specialized claims surveyors and adjusters acts swiftly. We manage the intricacies of international maritime law and cross-border claims processing to minimize your financial loss and get your supply chain moving again without delay.

Marine & Logistics: Frequently Asked Questions

Hull & Machinery (H&M) insurance covers physical damage to the vessel itself, including its hull, propulsion machinery, and onboard equipment. Cargo insurance, on the other hand, strictly covers the physical goods or commodities being transported on the vessel against damage, loss, or theft during transit.

Yes. Standard marine policies often exclude these specific risks. However, our London-based advisory team can structure specialized War, Terrorism, and Piracy extensions. This ensures your vessels and cargo are protected even when navigating through recognized high-risk geographic zones.

Standard cargo policies require physical damage to trigger a payout. To protect against delays, we implement Supply Chain Interruption or Delay in Start-Up (DSU) coverage. This indemnifies your business for financial losses or lost revenue resulting from covered delays, such as port blockages, strikes, or severe weather diversions.

Yes, through a "Stock Throughput" policy. This seamless coverage protects your goods continuously—from the moment they leave the manufacturing facility, during temporary storage in intermediate warehouses, and throughout final transit to the end customer, eliminating gaps in coverage.
