Here at Samsonlines, we understand the critical role played by Marine Insurance in safeguarding goods and ships involved in global trade. While we do not own our fleet, we are a safe logistics facilitator in Colombo! We ease importers, exporters, shipping lines, and freight forwarders in arranging complex marine insurance needs.
What is Marine Insurance?
Marine insurance covers ships, cargo, terminals, and transport against damage or loss from the place of origin to delivery points. It is composed of both Cargo Insurance and Hull & Machinery Insurance offering protection, if you are transporting sea shipping.
1. Cargo Insurance (For Our Import / Export Clients)
We broker cargo insurance covers to cover your merchandise on sea shipping. This pays out for loss or damage in overseas shipping and compensates you to minimize loss of money.
- Appropriate for clients transferring goods through boundaries using sea freight
- Covers every basic marine risk like storms, vessel collisions, piracy, and errors in handling
2. Hull & Machinery Insurance (Shipping and Vessel Clients)
To shipping and vessel clients that have or charter vessels, we give advice on getting Hull and Machinery Insurance to guard against physical loss of vessels and equipment at sea due to marine perils.
- Best suited for customers involved in shipping or chartering vessels to transport bulk cargo
- Coverage for fire, collision, grounding, and damage from heavy weather
