When and why are cargoes being insured?
Any entrepreneur operating in freight transport industry will assure that cargo insurance is a crucial precondition for transporting goods. Insurance allows the owner protecting his cargo from damage during loading, unloading or transporting.
With us you can insure different cargoes:
Road freight
Rail freight
Sea Freight
Air freight
All kinds of cargo insurance policies will protect you from various losses, which may occur whilst transporting the cargo (in case of a road accident or natural disaster or fire; if cargo has been stolen, robbed, exploded; due to neglect or other accident leading to damaged cargo during its transport in any of offered transport networks).
Who undertakes insurance
Cargo insurance is important for any business related to transport of material values. If you insure your cargo, you protect yourself from potential losses. If you don't want to insure it on your name, do not worry — at us the cargo insurance can be undertaken by:
Owner
Responsibility from loading to unloading is assumed only by cargo owner.
Customer
Responsibility during cargo shipment is assumed by the customer.
Co-insurance of cargo
Responsibility for one part of the route is assumed by the owner, and the other part by the customer.
We will also take care of formalities — you will not have to worry and spend time to settle import and export formalities.
What makes your cargo insurance price?
Together we will elaborate the most suitable insurance plan depending on your wishes and possibilities, and the price will depend on several important factors, including:
Type of cargo
Cargoes are divided according to diverse parameters, for example, product durability, fire safety and other properties.
Shared values
The more valuable the cargo is the higher the potential insurance price.
ICC classes
A – responsibility for all risks
B – responsibility for named risks
C – limited responsibility for named risks.
B – responsibility for named risks
C – limited responsibility for named risks.
Additional insurance is needed where the value of your cargo exceeds 8.5 EUR per kilogram, because, according to Geneva Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR), which stipulates third party liability of the carrier for maintaining of a cargo, the applicable rate is 8.33 SDR or approximately 8.5 EUR per 1 kg of cargo. This rate is subject to changes, because it is related to SDR currency basket. For example, if you lose 1 kg of gold, you will redeem 8.5 EUR.
Before you insure a cargo, think well of the most suitable types of policies in your case. At Vervo you can arrange the following insurance policies:
Responsibility for all risks
Responsibility for a separate road accident
Without liability for damage, except of destruction
