Different Types Of Insurance For Cargo Shipping

We are proud to announce that Viamar Scilla is authorized to provide marine insurance certificates through Lloyd’s of London, for all kinds of shipments. And there are different types of marine insurance policies just as there are different types of car insurance policies. However, depending on the shipper’s needs and specifications, they can be categorized into four types.
 
Hull Insurance: This type of policy protects against damage to an aircraft or cargo ship. Hull and machinery insurance cover every part within the ship to compensate the shipowner for any damage. Naturally, this type of insurance is usually taken out by the shipowner.
 
Cargo Insurance: Cargo insurance covers any physical damage or loss occurring to your shipment, whether it ships via land, sea or air. When it comes to cost advantages and opportunities, Viamar offers the most elaborate insurance policies.
 
Freight Insurance: Freight charges can be paid either in advance or after your consignment reaches its destination. Thanks to a freight insurance policy, companies avoid losing money in case of unexpected events where the cargo is lost or the ship meets with an accident.
Marine Liability Insurance: In case of the ship crashing or colliding, marine liability insurance provides coverage for the loss of goods.

Different Types Of Insurance Coverage

At Viamar, we understand the importance of your belongings, whether personal or commercial. Here are the two types of insurance coverage.

• Total Loss Coverage (“C” Clause) is where the premium is just 1% of the total value of your goods. The minimum fee for this insurance starts at $75 and covers any physical loss due to fire, explosion, the vessel being stranded or any accidents.
• All Risk Coverage (“A” Clause) is where the premium is about 2.5% of the total value. The minimum fee for this insurance coverage begins at $200 and covers practically any goods that have been packed and loaded by our team. The deductible from the all-risk coverage ranges between $500 and $1,500.

When you choose cargo insurance, you ensure full recovery from any financial loss, in case any damage occurs to your consignment.
