Cargo insurance on the basis of “Institute Cargo Clauses” (ICC) A, B, C conditions
2019 March, 27
The main concern of ours – carrying the freights of our clients in a quality and timely manner. With the expansion of cargo transportation routes, the cargos may be carried by several vehicles till they reach their final destination. This is the reason why the risks related to their transportation and possible losses increases.
For the purposes of successful implementation of our commitments to the clients and decreasing the possibility or risks related to the damage or loss of the cargo under transportation, we have carriers’ civil liability insurance. Taking into consideration the practical aspects related to the compensation for the loss of the freight or its damaging, the civil liability insurance does not cover the damages and losses in full 100 per cent. For this reason, and especially for our clients who need to transport big value and high-importance cargos, we would like to offer a reliable solution – insurance of their cargos on the basis of ICC (A, B, C) conditions. This insurance provides comprehensive protection from sudden or unexpected events which can damage the cargos transported by road, sea, railroad, and air transport.
These cargo insurance conditions (A, B, C) depend on the cargo type. This insurance can be used for the cover of damages of all value of the cargo and for the declared possible additional losses which can include customs office, valuation, and other related taxes and fees which may appear due to partial or full loss of the freight.
Benefits of this insurance:
– Applies to all types of transport.
– The compensation for losses is estimated from the value of the cargos.
