Some History …

It all started in Edward Lloyd’s Coffee Shop situated in Tower Street, London. The shop had cubicles where
the various dealers would sit. Edward Lloyd would send his waiters to the docks to obtain information on
ships arrivals and departures which would then be shared with the dealers. To this day there are still the
“waiters” at Lloyd’s.
The placing of the insurance business was carried out by a Lloyd’s Broker and it was only recently that
insurance companies were able to sit in Lloyd’s Room and write business.

What is Marine Insurance?
A form of insurance in which the insurer undertakes to indemnify the insured against loss of the ship (hull
insurance), the cargo, any sums paid in freight (freight insurance), or any liability to a third party occurring
during a sea voyage. A marine insurance contract may be extended to losses on inland waters or to risks on
land that may be incidental to a sea voyage.
The risks listed in marine insurance policies include perils of the seas, fire, war perils, pirates, seizures,
restraints, jettisons, and barratry .

Cargo Insurance
Definition
Marine Cargo Insurance refers to the insurance of goods shipped from one place to another, anywhere in the
world. Coverage is usually effected on a “per voyage” basis, i.e. from the time the goods leave the premises
of the seller until the time they arrive at the buyer’s premises. Cover may be acquired by either the buyer or
the seller, depending on the contract of sale. There are different types of recognized sale contracts that are
based on INCO terms.
