Cotton Textiles Marine Insurance

Marine Insurance for Cotton & Textiles Cargo | Cargo Cover

India is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of cotton, yarn, fabrics, and made-up textiles, shipping to destinations across the Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. Cotton bales and textile cargo are highly sensitive to moisture, contamination, and fire, making specialized marine insurance essential for exporters and traders in this sector. Cargo Cover, India's first dedicated marine insurance desk backed by ICICI Lombard, offers specialized cover for cotton bales, yarn, fabrics, and made-ups across the globe.

Why Cotton & Textiles Cargo Needs Specialized Cover

Cotton and textile cargo faces risks standard policies often overlook, including moisture absorption during monsoon transit, contamination from adjacent cargo, fire risk during storage and transit, and theft or pilferage of high-value fabric rolls and yarn. These risks demand coverage structured specifically for the fibre and textile trade.
