The Bharat Maritime Insurance Pool is a domestic, state-backed insurance mechanism designed to provide risk coverage for Indian-flagged, controlled or India-bound vessels. It acts as a safeguard for maritime trade during geopolitical uncertainties.
The pool ensures continuity of shipping operations if global insurers withdraw due to conflicts or sanctions. By offering financial protection against risks, it strengthens India’s trade security, reduces dependency on foreign insurers and enhances resilience of the maritime sector.
