[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/coverdash/cargo-transit) # Coverdash Cargo and Transit Insurance Coverdash Motor Truck Cargo and Ocean Marine Insurance Coverdash arranges motor truck cargo and ocean marine coverage as a broker, matching applicants to quotes from multiple insurers rather than underwriting a single in-house cargo product. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") [2](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/ocean-marine "Ocean Marine Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Both product pages; describes the brokerage model, not a specific insurer's cargo product.) ## Issuing Insurer - **Not publicly disclosed.** Neither the motor truck cargo page nor the ocean marine page names the insurer that would issue a specific policy; both describe comparing quotes from Coverdash's panel of insurers instead. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") [2](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/ocean-marine "Ocean Marine Insurance") (Scope: Pages checked 2026-09-23; the issuing carrier for a specific quote is not disclosed on either page.) ## Who It’s For - Coverdash markets motor truck cargo coverage to for-hire truckers, owner-operators and fleets that haul other people's goods, and says brokers and shippers usually require proof of this coverage before giving a business loads. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Motor truck cargo Who it's for section and FAQ; illustrative audience, not an exhaustive eligibility list.) - Coverdash markets ocean marine coverage to importers, exporters, freight forwarders and other businesses that move goods internationally by sea. [2](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/ocean-marine "Ocean Marine Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Ocean marine Who it's for section; illustrative audience, not an exhaustive eligibility list.) ## Coverage Features - Motor truck cargo coverage includes damage to freight in transit, theft while the freight is in the hauler's care, loss during loading and unloading, and debris removal after a covered loss. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Types of Coverage section on the motor truck cargo page; subject to exclusions and terms in the policy as issued.) - Coverdash's motor truck cargo FAQ says certain commodities, such as alcohol, tobacco or live animals, are often excluded or need special endorsements, and tells applicants to confirm the policy covers what they actually haul. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: FAQ answer on exclusions; specific excluded commodities depend on the policy as issued.) - Ocean marine coverage includes cargo loss or damage in transit by water, hull damage to the vessel itself, loss of freight charges when a shipment is lost, and third-party marine liability. [2](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/ocean-marine "Ocean Marine Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Types of Coverage section on the ocean marine page; subject to exclusions and terms in the policy as issued.) ## Limits and Retentions - Coverdash's motor truck cargo FAQ cites $100,000 as a common cargo limit but says high-value freight may need more. The ocean marine page publishes no limit figures and instead describes an open cargo policy that automatically covers a business's shipments over a period rather than insuring each one individually. [1](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/motor-truck-cargo "Motor Truck Cargo Insurance") [2](https://www.coverdash.com/coverage/ocean-marine "Ocean Marine Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: FAQ answers checked 2026-09-23; illustrative common limit for cargo only, not a published limit schedule for either line.) ## How to Apply - You request a cargo or ocean marine quote through Coverdash's online form. Coverdash says coverage can be quoted, bought and managed digitally, with a dedicated advisor from the first quote through renewal.
