Voyage Policy

  

You are shipping your prized collection of hollowed-out ostrich eggs painted to look like historical figures. (Your Marcus Aurelius is particularly highly valued).

You are sending them by ship to a museum in Jakarta. You're afraid that something might get broken in transit (hollowed-out ostrich eggs are very fragile).

So...you take out a voyage policy. It's an insurance policy that covers the items during their voyage (hence the name).
