Project Cargo Insurance

Project Cargo Insurance

For industrial projects, power plants, wind turbines, transformers and large-machinery transport, standard insurance falls short. Project cargo insurance includes custom-designed coverage for each shipment — covering the full transport, assembly and commissioning lifecycle.

Project Cargo Insurance Scope

  • DSU (Delay in Start-Up): Project start-up delay compensation
  • ALOP (Advance Loss of Profit): Anticipated profit loss coverage
  • Marine Cargo Cover: Port / sea damage coverage
  • Inland Transit: Road transport damage coverage
  • Erection All Risks (EAR): Assembly all-risk coverage
  • Contractor Plant & Machinery: Site equipment coverage

Insurable Project Types

  • Power plants (wind, solar, gas, nuclear)
  • Industrial facilities (refinery, cement, steel)
  • Port equipment (RTG/STS crane, RoRo ramp)
  • Mining machinery
  • Transformers, generators, turbines (heavy-lift)

Risk Engineering

Project cargo insurance is not standard. Voltim's team reviews feasibility, route analysis, lashing and assembly plans pre-shipment, identifies risk points and works with partner insurers to optimise the premium and coverage. See project cargo for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is project cargo insurance?
Project cargo insurance is a policy type with custom-designed coverage for each shipment of industrial projects, power plants, wind turbines, transformers and large machinery, where standard insurance falls short. It covers the equipment's full transport, assembly and commissioning lifecycle. Voltim arranges each policy through partner insurers with a risk-engineering approach, alongside its project cargo transportation service.
Which coverages does project cargo insurance include?
Project cargo insurance can combine DSU (Delay in Start-Up) compensation for project start-up delays, ALOP (Advance Loss of Profit) for anticipated profit loss, Marine Cargo Cover for port and sea damage, Inland Transit for road transport damage, Erection All Risks (EAR) for the assembly phase, and Contractor Plant & Machinery for site equipment. The coverage combination is designed individually for each project.
Which project types can be covered by project cargo insurance?
Insurable project types include power plants (wind, solar, gas, nuclear); industrial facilities such as refineries, cement and steel plants; port equipment such as RTG/STS cranes and RoRo ramps; mining machinery; and heavy-lift transformers, generators and turbines. The policy is structured shipment by shipment according to the nature of the equipment being transported.
How is the project cargo insurance premium determined?
The premium is determined through project-specific risk engineering rather than a standard tariff. Before shipment, Voltim's team reviews feasibility, route analysis, lashing and assembly plans, identifies risk points and works with partner insurers to optimise the premium and coverage. The nature of the equipment, the route and the selected coverages — such as DSU, ALOP or EAR — are the main factors shaping the final premium.
How does project cargo insurance differ from standard cargo insurance?
The key difference lies in scope and design: standard cargo insurance falls short for industrial projects and heavy equipment, whereas project cargo insurance protects the full transport, assembly and commissioning lifecycle under one structure. Coverage is custom-designed for each shipment, and delay and profit-loss protections such as DSU and ALOP can be added to the policy.
