Why this course?

Description

Global trade depends on the safe movement of goods across oceans, ports, warehouses, and multimodal transport networks. Every shipment faces risks ranging from storms, collisions, theft, piracy, cargo damage, cyberattacks, geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, and documentation errors. Understanding these risks—and knowing how to insure, underwrite, and manage them—is essential for today's insurance and trade professionals.

This comprehensive 16-hour online course on Marine Insurance: Global Principles, Trade Practice & Claims Management provides practical knowledge of marine insurance across the complete cargo lifecycle—from policy selection and underwriting to claims settlement and emerging global risks.

The programme explains marine insurance principles, Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC A, B & C), Incoterms 2020, cargo movement, international logistics, underwriting practices, cargo valuation, claims documentation, general average, salvage, fraud detection, dispute resolution, and digital claims management. Participants also learn how insurers evaluate cargo, vessels, routes, packaging, documentation, and geopolitical exposures before accepting risks.

The course goes beyond traditional marine insurance by covering modern developments including AI-enabled underwriting, digital trade documentation, e-Bills of Lading, cyber risks, ESG considerations, climate-related disruptions, real-time cargo tracking, supply chain resilience, and technology-driven claims processing. Through internationally recognised case studies such as Ever Given, Maersk NotPetya, MSC Flaminia, Hanjin Shipping, Panama Canal disruptions, Red Sea conflicts, and practical claim calculation workshops, participants gain the ability to make informed underwriting, claims, and risk management decisions in today's evolving global trade environment.

Why this course?

Marine insurance has evolved far beyond protecting cargo against traditional sea perils. Today's professionals must understand complex international trade contracts, global logistics networks, digital documentation, cyber risks, geopolitical instability, climate-related disruptions, and sophisticated claims processes.

Many organisations continue to face claim disputes, inadequate coverage, documentation deficiencies, underwriting errors, and operational losses because professionals lack practical understanding of modern marine insurance practices and global trade risks.
