Keeping you afloat and your goods protected whilst in transit with specialist marine hull and cargo insurance solutions
When your goods are shipped from one place to the next, they’re at risk from storms, fires, being dropped, collisions or even acts of piracy. Marine cargo insurance protects your goods while at sea, in the air or on the road. If you own a vessel of any size, hull insurance will cover you if the vessel is lost or damaged.
Having the right insurance depends on what kind of cargo you carry, the geographical areas you operate in, the types of vessels you own, and more. Our experienced team at Runacres can help identify the risks facing your business and tailor an insurance package solution that mitigates those risks. We want to give you the peace of mind that should an unfortunate or unforeseen event occur, your business is well protected.
Our national network partner, NZbrokers, has put together a list of six points for your business to consider when it comes to Marine Hull and Cargo insurance. We’ve summarised these into questions for your business here:

Budget: What would a potential loss cost you? Can you afford not to insure for this?
Mitigation: What steps are you taking to protect your business from losses whilst in transit?
