Cargo Insurance Policy

2. What’s Covered

Coverage Options

Most Cargo Insurance across the globe is underwritten using the Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC). At IronRock we use the most recently issued (01/01/2009) Marine Cargo Insurance clauses.*

*You can click on the links to see each clauses’ wording – they are surprisingly short and easy to understand.
