Marine & Cargo Insurance
Cover your goods in transit by road, sea or air — from dispatch to delivery, with cover that satisfies importers, banks and suppliers.
We compare 9+ of Kenya's top insurers so you get the best cover at the lowest price.
Why you need it
Goods can be lost, damaged or stolen anywhere along the supply chain — at the port, in transit, or on the last mile. Marine cargo cover protects the value of your shipment so a single incident doesn't become your loss.
We arrange single-transit and annual open-cover policies for importers, exporters and distributors, and provide the marine certificates banks and KRA often require for clearing.
Kenyan law generally requires importers to insure their cargo locally, and clearing agents and banks often ask for a marine certificate before releasing goods. Beyond compliance, cargo faces real risks at the port, in transit and on the last mile — cover protects the full value of your consignment against loss or damage.
