Marine Insurance for Cargo Owners and Logistics Providers

Voyage is a specialist marine insurance platform based in Malaysia and Singapore. We arrange marine cargo insurance for businesses shipping goods internationally, and marine liability coverage for the logistics providers who move them. All coverage is placed through licensed broking partners with international underwriters.

Core Solutions

Coverage structured around your cargo, your trade routes, and how your supply chain operates

Marine Cargo Insurance

For cargo owners, exporters, importers, and traders

Your goods are at risk from the moment they leave the warehouse. Marine cargo insurance covers the value of your shipment against loss and damage in transit, by sea, air, road, and rail, under Institute Cargo Clauses. Whether you ship ten containers a year or ten thousand, we structure coverage around your commodity, your routes, and your supply chain.

Marine Liability Insurance

For freight forwarders, NVOCCs, 3PLs, and logistics providers

You move other people's goods. When something goes wrong, the cargo owner looks to you first. Marine liability insurance protects your business against claims for loss or damage to goods in your care, custody, and control, covering gaps that your standard trading conditions and carrier conventions don't close.

Why Voyage

Marine Insurance Specialists

This is all we do. Marine cargo, marine liability, and marine hull insurance, not side products bolted onto a general insurance portfolio. Our team understands how marine coverage is structured, priced, and placed at every level of the chain.

International Underwriter Access

We place coverage with international underwriters across the London market, Lloyd's syndicates, and regional insurers. Marine cargo can be arranged on a non-admitted basis in most jurisdictions, giving you access to global capacity from Malaysia and Singapore.

Both Sides of the Supply Chain

Most marine insurance intermediaries serve either cargo owners or logistics providers. We work with both, which means we understand the complete picture: where the cargo owner's coverage ends, where the forwarder's liability begins, and where the gaps sit between them. That perspective means fewer coverage gaps and faster identification of exposures on both sides.

Malaysia and Singapore Expertise

We know these markets. Port Klang, Tanjung Pelepas, Penang, Singapore's container terminals and consolidation hubs: these are not abstract trade corridors to us. We structure coverage around the routes, commodities, and logistics infrastructure that Malaysian and Singaporean businesses actually use.

How it works

A structured approach to assessing risk, engaging the right insurers, and supporting your programme end-to-end.

01

Tell Us About Your Business

Whether you're a cargo owner shipping goods or a logistics provider moving them, we start with your operations: what you ship (or handle), where it goes, how it travels, and what values or liabilities are at risk. This shapes the coverage structure and determines which underwriters are the right fit.
02

We Approach the Market

We prepare a detailed submission and place your risk with underwriters who actively write your class of business and trade corridors. You get terms structured around your specific operations, not a generic template.
03

You Operate, We Cover

Once your facility or policy is in place, you focus on your business. For cargo owners, every qualifying shipment is automatically covered under your open cover; for logistics providers, your operations are protected within the agreed scope of your liability policy. We handle certificates, documentation, and claims support when you need it.
