Alliance Risk says ocean marine coverage typically applies to cargo shipped internationally by sea, shipping containers, vessels and freight, hull and machinery, and liability for maritime accidents. ³Company-reported. Product page coverage description; the issued policy and declarations control actual terms.

Alliance Risk's page states this coverage generally excludes general wear and tear or damage from poor packaging, losses outside the policy territory unless the policy is written globally, business income loss unless endorsed, and flood damage unless specifically added to an ocean marine policy. ³Company-reported. Product page "What Doesn't Inland & Ocean Marine Insurance Cover?" section; the issued policy controls actual exclusions.

The transportation policy covers a business's property while in transit on its own vehicles or through a public or contract motor, rail or air carrier, and Travelers says it will keep the business operating while the extent of a carrier's legal liability is determined. ⁷Company-reported. Cargo page transportation-insurance description.

Travelers says Cargo Pak and Cargo and Logistics Pak are set up for each operation, because the trucking industry has no standard definition of the services a carrier or logistics provider offers. ⁷Company-reported. Cargo page cargo-and-logistics-coverage description.
