Cargo insurance is one of the services provided by our company. It allows the owner of the goods to compensate for financial losses in the event of partial damage or complete loss.

Why insure transportation cargo

Cargo insurance for international cargo transportation is a mandatory procedure. A similar provision is provided for by the “Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road by Road”. Its participants are 55 European countries, including Russia. A similar requirement is in the documents that regulate the implementation of cargo transportation by air, railway or sea transport.

What you can insure the goods from

When concluding the contract, the insurance company can compensate the losses to the cargo owner if it is damaged in the following cases:

• as a result of natural disasters, explosions and fires;
• due to violation of the rules for loading or unloading operations or damage resulting from the transfer of goods from one vehicle to another;
• as a result of robbery, theft or theft;
• due to violation of storage conditions of cargo at a transit or consolidation warehouse.

Types of cargo insurance

There are two main types of cargo insurance for international shipments:

1. Carrier liability insurance. In this case, the cargo owner is reimbursed for losses caused by the carrier’s fault. A contract of this type is concluded for a fixed term.
2. Cargo insurance. This option provides compensation for damages received for any reason, but is valid only for one particular trip.
