Insurance schemes for international cargo transportation

Although insurance cases are quite rare, you should not rely on luck and refuse insurance. It is important to remember that these costs are significantly less than the amount of compensation you will receive.

We offer the following schemes:

With responsibility for all risks. Compensation is due in case of loss of all or part of the cargo due to a natural disaster, theft, accident and other cases.
With responsibility for a private accident. In this case, you will be reimbursed for losses related to the crash or the risk of a crash of the transport that carries the goods.
With responsibility for the named risks. These are specific situations in connection with which an insured event occurs.Additional conditions can be fixed in the contract — fraudulent actions, strikes, military actions, etc.

Insurance can be one—time, i.e. for a specific transportation, and general — for transportation during a specific period, if the route and conditions do not change.

Insurance can be one-time, i.e., for a specific shipment, and general, for transportation within a specific period, provided that the route and conditions do not change.

Frequently Asked Questions

01
What does the insurance cost depend on?

The shipping costs is based on details, such as the type of cargo , route, packaging, mode of transportation used for delivery. On average, it’s up to 0.3% of the declared value. The lowest rate applies to goods that are difficult to damage (metal, minerals).

Special approval is required for some goods like jewelry, artwork, money, explosive materials, etc.

02
Does the route affect the insurance rate?

Yes. Insurers take into account all risks that may exist in the transit country’s territory. These include natural disasters, potential local conflicts, and the cost of storage in warehouses along the route. For instance, the insurance price for a batch of goods transported from Europe is lower than from African countries.

03
Which package is more profitable to insure?

Since the contents of a closed container are more difficult to damage, the rate for it will be more profitable.

04
Is cargo insurance really necessary?

Cargo insurance is one of the most popular types of insurance protection today. Delivery often takes some time, and it is difficult to be sure of the safety of goods due to unforeseen situations. Transportation almost always involves risk. Theft, robbery, accidents, and other factors can cause quite serious financial consequences.

Property insurance will help you avoid this situation. It is produced by the owner or tenant. The carrier does not have the right to insure the cargo, since he does not own the goods. Protection for the carrier is insurance of its liability. If products are damaged or destroyed through no fault of the carrier, he will not be held financially liable.

At the time of concluding the contract, the carrier enters a clause stating that he has the right to insure the cargo, adding insurance costs to the total amount of services provided. In this case, all financial transactions related to insurance are specified in a separate clause in the contract for the provision of services and are subject to compensation by the owner of the cargo.
