Oriental Marine Insurance
When it comes to international cargo transit, the International Cargo Clause (ICC) provides specialized insurance coverage. The ICC includes two types of coverage:
- ICC A: This type of coverage protects cargo during transit from damages, excluding damages caused by rainwater.
- ICC B: This coverage provides protection only against accidental damages.
For transit within India, the Inland Transit Clause (ITC) offers specialized insurance coverage. This clause includes two types of coverage:
- ITC A: This type of coverage protects against all types of damages, except for those caused by rainwater.
- ITC B: This coverage provides protection only against accidental damages.
It's important to keep in mind that to qualify for coverage under marine/cargo insurance, the insured must have an insurable interest in the property, whether they opt for ITC or ICC.
