Marine cargo insurance is comparable to other types of property coverage such as car and homeowner's insurance which are purchased to protect the financial interests of the owner of the vehicle or house. Cargo insurance covers against physical loss or damage from an external cause that occurs while goods are in route to their final destination. Coverage extends to an enormous number of causes of loss from theft from a parked truck enroute to the port, water damage caused by humidity inside a container, fires caused by combustion of neighbouring cargo – such as fireworks or batteries, or pallets falling off of forklifts while the goods are being loaded
