Marine Open Cover

    Marine open cover is a legal contract between the insurer and the insured. The tenure of the policy is 12 months and the insured stays protected during this period for a large number of shipments/dispatches and the premium amount is adjusted from the cash deposit account that the insurer maintains. In a marine open cover, the insured does not get a fixed sum insured amount however, the amount is decided with PBL/SCL along with the terms of cover. Open Cover is not a policy and that is why it is not stamped.

    Highlights of Marine Open Cover

    Here are some of the highlights of this cover:

    • Marine open cover provides coverage for frequent shipments and dispatches instead of purchasing an individual policy for every shipment mainly for import and export.
    • Under open cover, the policyholder has to maintain a certain amount in the cash deposit account that enables them to send the declaration for issuing a certificate/policy even after a later date.
    • According to the terms of the marine open cover, the insured has to declare every shipment that comes within the scope of the contract.
    • The insurer is also bound to accept the marine insurance of all the dispatches and shipments made by the insured during the period by keeping enough amount in the cash deposit account.
