Voyage policies: defining the insured journey

A voyage policy insures a specified marine journey under its defined attachment and termination terms.

A voyage policy insures a specified marine journey under its defined attachment and termination terms.

The distinction that matters

The geographical description, cargo or vessel interests and permitted deviations determine the scope; a voyage label does not establish door-to-door cover.

What to check

  • Identify start and end points.
  • Check delay and deviation terms.
  • Confirm loading, storage and onward carriage.

Example to discuss

A shipment stored at an intermediate warehouse requires a check of the transit termination provisions.

This is a hypothetical comparison, not a customer claim or a determination of cover.
