Course Overview

This advanced training course provides a comprehensive understanding of Marine Cargo Insurance and transportation risk management, focusing on the protection of goods throughout international and domestic maritime transportation and the broader logistics chain. The program examines the principles and practices of cargo insurance, cargo risk assessment, policy structures, coverage conditions, exclusions, warranties, deductibles, claims procedures, and the responsibilities of insurers, brokers, shippers, consignees, carriers, freight forwarders, and other stakeholders. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying and managing risks throughout the cargo transportation lifecycle, including loading, handling, storage, port operations, transshipment, ocean transportation, discharge, inland transportation, and final delivery.
