Cargo & Goods In Transit

Knowledge First

Open Cover
An open cover is an agreement (not a policy) whereby the insurer will accept insurance of all shipments made by the assured, within the terms of the cover for a fixed period, usually for 12 months. Being an agreement, it is not stamped. However, stamped policies or certificates of insurance are issued against the declaration made by the assured. The open cover is of great convenience to the clients engaged in regular import/export trade.


Open Policy
It is an Annual Cargo Insurance Contract expressed in general terms and effected for a round sum sufficient to cover a number of dispatches until the sum insured is exhausted by declarations. The Open Policy, also known as the Floating Policy, saves the assured the inconvenience of affecting individually the insurance of goods dispatched anywhere in the world. The policy may cover both incoming and outgoing consignments from anywhere in world to anywhere in world except to sanction countries or those countries where insurer have restriction to cover. The sum insured under the policy should ordinarily represent the assured’s estimated annual turnover of the goods.

Property

Knowledge First

Property All Risks Insurance
This insurance policy indemnifies the Insured for accidental physical loss of or damage to the property insured whilst situated at the premises described in the policy. It includes loss or damage by fire, lightning, aircraft, explosion, earthquake, strike, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, storm, tempest, flood, bursting or overflowing of water apparatus (including sprinkler leakage), impact by own vehicles, theft or attempted theft (by violence to persons or threat thereof or by violent and forcible entry to or exit from the premises) and accidental loss or damage.
The coverage is usually provided for a period of one year. The Sum Insured may be either on the basis of the actual value or the new replacement value of the property but should be adequate to cover the total exposure. The Insured has to provide the sum Insured but may seek the assistance of our technical staff to determine the adequacy. Sum Insured is very important and needs to be given due consideration to avoid application of Average [i.e. application of under-insurance] in the event of a claim.
The rate chargeable is always applied on "Per Mille" basis (for every thousand units) on the total sum Insured and is very much dependent on the nature of risk, location and the housekeeping and other physical features of the risk. There is a deductible for each and every loss under the policy. The insurance is also subject to other terms and conditions as printed on the Policy.
