    Marine Cargo Insurance Application
  • Duty of Disclosure
  • Before you enter into a contract of general insurance with the insurer you have a duty to disclose to the insurer every matter that you know, or could reasonably be expected to know, is relevant to the insurers decision whether to accept the risk of the insurance and if so on what terms. You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer before you renew, extend, vary or reinstate a contract of general insurance. Your duty does not require disclosure of matters: - that diminish the risk to be undertaken by the insurer - that are common knowledge - that the insurer knows, or in the ordinary course of its business, ought to know - as to which compliance with your duty is waived by the insurer. Non-disclosure - If you fail to comply with your duty of disclosure, the insurer may be entitled to reduce its liability under the contract in respect of a claim or may cancel the contract. If your non disclosure is fraudulent the insurer may also have the option of avoiding the contract from its beginning.
  • The Information You Will Want to Know About This Insurance
  • The PolicyMarine Cargo insurance applies to imports and exports by sea and air. Inland can also be covered but only in addition to imports or exports. If insurance is only required for inland transits, a Goods in Transit proposal form should be completed.You may choose to take out an annual policy or open cover according to how you wish to pay your premiums.
  • Annual PolicyAn Annual Marine Cargo policy is a convenient insurance of all shipments where the risk attaches during the policy period. Premium is payable by deposit based on estimated value of annual shipments and adjustable on the actual declared value of shipments.
  • Open CoverA Marine Open Cover provides insurance protection for imports and exports with premiums charged as declarations of shipments are made. An open cover is always in force until cancelled.
  • ImportantThe information contained in this proposal is an outline of the cover provided. Full details of the cover with all limitations, exclusions and conditions are contained in the policy.
  • The CoverThe internationally accepted Institute Cargo Clauses are used for Marine Cargo insurance. These clauses provide different levels of cover and specific conditions for some commodities. They allow cover to be tailored to a client’s specific requirements. Please note that in certain circumstances all risks cover may not be available – please refer to our quotation for details of the cover we can provide.
  • Limit of LiabilityTo recover the full amount of any loss it is essential that you select a limit of liability adequate for the maximum amount of goods at risk on any one conveyance or at any one location in the ordinary course of transit.
  • Certificates of InsuranceExport shipments usually require a certificate of insurance to be issued, often as a letter of credit requirement and for assignment to the buyer, to allow a claim to be settled overseas. We will either issue the certificates for you or provide you with a self issue facility. All certificates must be issued in accordance with the policy or open cover limits and conditions.
  • Settling ClaimsOur experienced claims staff will promptly handle any recoverable claim subject to the terms of the policy or open cover. We have an extensive network of survey and settling agents to service claims arising overseas.
