A combined transport insurance policy covers cargo across the entire multimodal journey under a single contract, from point of origin to final destination. Rather than arranging separate cover for each transport leg, the shipper or freight forwarder secures uniform protection across road, rail, inland waterway, and sea segments in one instrument. This matters most at transshipment points, where gaps between individual policies can otherwise leave goods exposed. In the event of a claim, the insurer handles the full loss assessment internally, without apportioning liability across multiple carriers. The arrangement differs from a unimodal cargo policy, which is typically confined to one mode or a defined route.
