Cover applies to physical loss or damage linked to war-related risks, including conflict, civil unrest, seizure and derelict weapons, with valid claims settled with zero deductible. Customers can buy a single end-to-end policy or standalone ocean, air or land transit cover. The programme includes automatic port storage cover for up to 14 days and coverage limits of up to $400m per shipment and $1m per inland movement.
DP World said the product is intended to support cargo flows on regional corridors including the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and connected inland routes.
In the company’s example, cargo moving from Asia into Jebel Ali remains insured from entry into the war-risk zone through final inland delivery rather than losing protection after ocean discharge.
HOW IT WORKS: Example shipment from Asia to the Middle East
Cargo travels by sea into Jebel Ali, where it is stored at port for several days before clearance, then transported by truck to its final inland destination.
With traditional insurance: Coverage typically applies only during ocean transit, leaving gaps during port storage and inland transport.
With DP World’s solution: A single policy provides continuous protection across the entire journey, from entry into the war risk zone through to final delivery.
Why this matters:
· Traditional cargo insurance typically excludes war risk or requires separate cover
· Coverage often ends at discharge, leaving gaps during port handling and inland transport
· Carriers do not cover war-related losses, as these fall outside their liability
DP World’s solution closes these gaps with continuous, end-to-end protection.
