# What does Marine and inland transit insurance mean in logistics?

Short answer

Cargo insurance covering goods in transit by sea, air, rail or road, including inland legs. Cover is set by clauses, such as Institute Cargo Clauses A, B or C for international shipments, with A the widest.

Indian insurers sell single-transit policies and open or annual declaration policies for regular shippers, with separate inland transit clauses for road and rail. Match the cover to the Incoterm, since it decides who bears risk on each leg. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
