Cargo insurance is a form of protection from any risks connected with loss, larceny or damage to cargo. At all times cargo transportation have been connected with certain risks. The historians prove that some first attempts to minimize risks of cargo loss or damage were made by ancient Egyptians. While loading the goods for transportation down the Nile the cargo was distributed evenly between several ships, which meant that in case of loss of a vessel the caused damage was minimal. They say it was one of the first known primitive forms of cargo "surance". Some centuries later the Genoa merchants, sending the goods on sailing vessels across the Mediterranean sea, came across risks of pirate attacks, bad weather and other troubles resulted in cargo loss or damage. In those times merchants looked for protection from possible damage by creation of benefit associations. Although nowadays piracy is not a burning problem any more, basic risks remain the same as they were thousand years ago.
