marine insurance - in this case
Marine insurance is a sub-set of transport insurance. Transport includes land, marine, air. In turn, marine includes cargo and hull. Ie marine insurance is not a strictly accurate translation of transport. However, if this is the specialisation which the company has, I would use their terminology and make a note.
Note from asker:
| "Transport includes land, marine, air." -- Yes, that is how I would undertand it too. The company does not specialise in ocean freight but I think they are using "marine insurance" loosely as a catch-all term. As you say, "transport insurance" would otherwise be an accurate translation. |
