Marine insurance is a type of insurance coverage designed to protect ships, cargo, and other
property involved in maritime activities. It covers losses or damages to ships, cargo, terminals,
and any transport or cargo by which property is transferred, acquired, or held between points of
origin and final destination. There are several types of marine insurance, including:
1. **Hull Insurance**: Covers physical damage to the ship or vessel.
2. **Cargo Insurance**: Covers loss or damage to the goods being transported.
3. **Freight Insurance**: Covers the loss of freight revenue.
4. **Liability Insurance**: Covers legal liabilities arising from ship operations, including
damage to third parties or their property.
Marine insurance is essential for mitigating the risks associated with maritime trade and
transportation.
