For every product, every form of transportation and every trade a specific solution might be required. Together we can map out all the risks and extend your coverage so that all risks are covered. For example:
-
A coverage for damage which you are not liable for based on the terms of delivery (incoterms), but causing that you are not getting paid, or causing goods to be returned. (Seller’s / Buyer’s interest).
-
Brand protection: You don’t want your branded goods on the market when they are partially damaged. We can cover your partially damaged goods as completely damaged, even though they are not.
-
Do you part take in fairs and exhibitions? We can cover the goods during the transport from and to the venue, and during the actual event.
-
Do you transport freight that has a high risk of spoilage? Under some circumstances, we can insure some form of spoilage.
-
Do you transport goods for reparation, revision or maintenance? Or to be edited somewhere else? We can cover these transports and storage at a third party.
-
Do you transport goods between different business locations? We can also cover these types of transportation.
Current threats
We always keep a close eye on the trends in the transport & logistics industry. If we spot developments which form a risk for you, then we will act straight away. One example of this is the worsening of shipping company’s financial situation. Therefore, we created the Bankruptcy coverage.
Bankruptcy coverage
Besides damaged goods, there are more risks connected with freight transport. In 2016, we have seen the effects and costs when a shipping company goes bankrupt. Even now, recent publications show that the financial stability in the container transport industry is unstable. Exporters and importers are running the risk that they (again) must deal with the same costs like Hanjin, for instance:
- Pay to release goods the container terminal has confiscated
- Extra storage costs and handling costs
- Goods/containers must be transported from the emergency harbour to the destination
There is a significant chance that your insurance policy doesn’t cover these risks. Therefore, we offer clients the possibility to cover these risks for a small fee. And as direct writer we are in the driver seat to advise clients how to deal with these situations in often faraway places, and to limit the costs. This means less worries for you, and we make sure that your goods arrive at the destination as fast as possible.
Insurance certificates/separate policies
It can occur that you need to show your buyer an insurance certificate or policy during a trade. This is possible with the CIF incoterm, or if a Letter of credit is issued and the bank requests a certificate. For these requests, we work with Ocean Wide, a world-wide known and renowned supplier of applications for creating certificates. Through an online application, you can create these certificates when you need them, 24/7.
