MNK International delivers strength at every step with sophisticated marine insurance coverage against loss or damage to ships, cargo, terminals, and transportation assets between points of origin and final destination. Our expertise encompasses marine hull insurance, marine cargo protection, stock throughput coverage, and specialist marine liability solutions.
Our marine hull insurance protects vessels of all sizes, from the largest tankers and container ships to small craft and yachts. We provide global coverage for ocean-going vessels against physical damage and collision liability risks. Our solutions extend to marine hull war insurance against piracy and terrorism threats, as well as war physical damage to vessels. Kidnap and ransom cover can be added to enhance protection.

Our stock throughput policies provide seamless cover for all moveable goods in your trade cycle—from raw materials to semi-finished and finished products. This comprehensive solution protects goods at all times: during transit, processing (excluding process damage), and storage at your own or third-party premises.
By avoiding potential coverage gaps between marine and non-marine policies, stock throughput insurance eliminates disputes that could arise from multiple policy placements. Administrative simplicity is ensured through premium calculations based on a single percentage of your turnover.
Key advantages:
Protection and indemnity insurance (P&I) provides essential cover to shipowners, operators, and charterers for third-party liabilities encountered during commercial vessel operations. This comprehensive protection addresses practically all maritime liability risks, from cargo damage and environmental incidents to war and political risks. Often arranged through P&I clubs—mutual insurance associations that pool risks for members—this coverage extends to ship owners, operators, charterers, freight forwarders and warehouse operators.

Our tailored policies provide essential protection during these challenging circumstances.
