Securing Smooth Sailing: A Deep Dive into the Marine Insurance Act
The Marine Insurance Act is a crucial legislation that governs marine insurance policies, ensuring financial security for shipowners, cargo operators, and other maritime stakeholders. This Act provides a structured framework for risk assessment, claims handling, and liability coverage, making it essential for anyone involved in maritime trade.
