About This Cover
Why Marine Insurance?
Kenya handles over USD 25 billion in trade annually through Mombasa Port — East Africa's largest gateway. One container lost at sea, one inland transit accident on the Nairobi–Mombasa highway, one warehouse fire: without marine cover, your entire shipment is your loss. Acentria Marine Insurance covers every leg of your cargo journey — sea, air, rail, and road — on an open cover or per-voyage basis.
"Mombasa to Nairobi. Dar to Kampala. Your cargo, fully protected."
