A marine cargo open policy is an agreement between a merchant and an insurance company to insure all goods in transit within the agreement for an indefinite period, until either party cancels the agreement.

The policy specifies:

• The general description of the goods
• The countries or places to or from which the goods will be insured
• The maximum value payable under the policy
• How the goods will be valued
• The conditions of insurance.
• The merchant agrees to declare details of all shipments that fall within the scope of the policy, and the insurance company agrees to insure such shipments according to the terms and conditions of the policy.
