Shipping Insurance Cost Calculator

Not always, but it is strongly recommended. Without it, loss or damage during transit falls entirely on the shipper or buyer. On a $50,000 shipment, that is a $50,000 uninsured risk.

War-risk insurance covers losses from armed conflict, piracy, terrorism, and civil unrest affecting vessels or cargo in designated high-risk zones.

Standard marine cargo insurance runs 0.3% to 0.5% for low-risk routes. War-risk can add 0.01% to 1% or more for high-risk routes like the Red Sea.

All-risk covers every cause of loss except specific exclusions. Named-peril covers only listed events like fire, sinking, or collision. All-risk costs more but offers broader protection.

At a standard rate of 0.5%, insurance is $500. Adding a 0.25% war-risk premium brings the total to $750 for the shipment.

Standard marine cargo policies do not cover delay. Separate delay-in-start-up or loss-of-profit coverage must be purchased if transit delays would cause financial harm.
