Marine Insurance

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Marine insurance is the grandparent of the whole industry. Long before anyone thought to insure a house against fire or a life against death, merchants were pooling the risk of ships that might never return. Today it quietly underpins almost everything Nigeria buys and sells abroad: the fuel, the machinery, the rice and the cars that cross the ocean to reach Lagos and Onne all travel under a marine policy.

In this lesson you will learn what marine insurance actually covers: the perils of the sea and the excepted perils it leaves out, the four interests it protects (hull, cargo, freight and liability), and the ways a policy can be timed by voyage or by period. You will settle a general average claim step by step, discover why a marine policyholder need own the goods only at the moment of loss, and see why no cargo leaves a port without this cover.

Takardar Darasi

A trader in Kano orders forty thousand dollars of textiles from Guangzhou. The container is loaded at sea, and three weeks later a storm off the Cape forces the master to throw part of the deck cargo overboard to keep the vessel upright. Her bales survive, but when the ship berths in Lagos she is handed a bill: she must contribute towards the cargo that was sacrificed to save the voyage. She is baffled. She lost nothing, so why must she pay? The answer lies in the oldest branch of insurance there is, and in a rule about shared sacrifice that has governed sea trade for centuries. Understand marine insurance and you understand how goods move safely across an ocean that owes no one a calm passage.
