Marine & Aviation Insurance

Cargo insurance covers the goods being transported. Hull insurance covers the vessel (ship or aircraft) itself. They are separate policies covering different interests.

ICC A provides the broadest, all-risk coverage. ICC B and C provide increasingly narrower named-peril coverage. Most UAE commercial cargo shipments use ICC A as the standard. We will advise the appropriate clause for your trade and commodity.

On CIF terms, the seller arranges cargo insurance to the port of destination. On FOB or EXW terms, the buyer is responsible for arranging cargo insurance from the point of loading. We will clarify the insurance obligation based on your Incoterms.

An open cover is an annual marine cargo policy that automatically covers all your shipments up to a declared per-voyage limit, without needing to arrange a separate policy for each shipment. This is the most efficient solution for frequent exporters and importers.

Yes. The UAE GCAA requires all aircraft operators to carry mandatory aviation third-party liability insurance. Hull insurance, while not legally required, is strongly recommended for aircraft owners.

Simple, well-documented claims are typically settled within 30–60 days. Complex or large claims (total loss, general average) take longer. Our claims team is experienced in expediting UAE cargo claim settlements.
