CARGO WAR RISK INSURANCE
A globally unique cargo war insurance cover for transport within the designated War Zone. The DP World programme can provide cargo owners with seamless war insurance protection across ocean transit, port storage and final delivery at market-leading rates.
ASSURANCE BUILT INTO YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN.
Our unique position in the global supply chain enables us to offer what most commercial insurers cannot. Today, cargo owners face fragmented ocean and land policies subject to high cost and coverage gaps. DP World's Cargo War Risk Insurance programme changes that. The product is designed to provide war risk coverage that sits alongside your existing all-risk cargo policies, which typically exclude designated war zones in the Middle East, enabling cargo owners to trade with confidence.
COVERAGE OPTIONS
DP World's cargo war risk insurance provides cargo owners with seamless war insurance protection, sitting alongside your existing all-risk cargo policies. We also offer standard all risk cargo insurances to clients if and when needed.
Complete protection from vessel to warehouse
Our most comprehensive option.
Cover attaches at the ship’s rail or aircraft flange and continues through ocean or air transit, including up to 14 days of automatic port storage, inland transit, and final warehouse delivery.
One policy, with no gaps between modes. Speak to your commercial team for pricing tailored to your cargo type and route.
THE COVER CARGO OWNERS HAVE BEEN MISSING.
Our Cargo War Risk Insurance is not a standalone product. It is part of our broader commitment to delivering integrated, resilient supply chain solutions that keep you trading, whatever the conditions. By embedding damage cover directly into your logistics workflow, we reduce risk across complex supply chains, support continuity in volatile markets, and give you greater control of your cargo.

Sustained disruption to key trade corridors has made cover harder to access. Our Cargo War Risk Insurance is designed to cover areas affected by the current geopolitical situation.

CARGO INSURANCE FAQs
Does cargo insurance cover war-related risks?
Cargo insurance excludes war risk or requires separate cover. We address this by providing end-to-end Cargo War Risk insurance that protects your shipments across inland transport, ocean, air and port storage.
What happens if something occurs after discharge?
War risk cover usually ends once cargo reaches vessel or aircraft discharge, leaving no coverage during port handling and inland movement. Our solution extends protection beyond discharge, ensuring continuous cover through port storage, air, ocean, inland transport and final delivery.
Do carriers cover cargo losses?
Carriers exclude war-related damage from their terms and conditions, as these risks fall outside their control. We provide dedicated Cargo War Risk insurance that safeguards your goods across the full logistics chain, from transit to final delivery.
