Cargo Australia wide and marine cargo – imports, exports and overseas
Our Marine Insurance policies protect businesses against a wide range of risks, including Boat Builders and Ship Repairers Liability, Marine Hull, Cargo within Australia, and Marine Cargo for imports, exports and overseas shipments.
If you import products into Australia, we can arrange one-off or annual transit cover to protect your goods while in transit. As the importer, you may be considered the manufacturer and could be liable for claims arising from defective stock. We can ensure your Liability Insurance adequately protects your business.
Whether your operations are on land or at sea, Westralian Insurance is here to provide advice and support. With over forty years of industry experience, we have the knowledge and expertise to tailor the perfect insurance solution for your business.

Q1. What does Marine Insurance cover?
Marine Insurance covers risks including Boat Builders and Ship Repairers Liability, Marine Hull, Cargo within Australia, and Marine Cargo for imports, exports and overseas shipments.
Q2. Who typically needs Marine Insurance?
Marine Insurance is ideal for boat builders, ship repairers, and cargo shipping companies, as well as any business importing or exporting goods that need transit cover.
Q3. Do I need Marine Cargo insurance if I import goods into Australia?
Yes — as the importer, you may legally be considered the manufacturer and could be liable for claims from defective stock, so appropriate transit and liability cover is important.
Q4. Can I get one-off cargo cover for a single shipment, or only annual policies?
Westralian Insurance can arrange either one-off or annual transit cover, depending on how often you import or export goods.
Q5. Does Marine Insurance cover damage to the vessel itself?
Yes, Marine Hull cover protects the vessel itself, separate from liability cover for boat builders or ship repairers.
Q6. Is Marine Insurance only relevant to businesses operating at sea?
No — Westralian Insurance provides advice and support for operations both on land and at sea, including businesses that import or export cargo without ever operating a vessel themselves.
Q7. How experienced is Westralian Insurance with Marine Insurance?
Westralian Insurance has over forty years of industry experience, which it uses to tailor Marine Insurance solutions for businesses across Western Australia.
