To help you familiarize yourself with the Buyer�s and seller�s responsibilities, We can extend its experience in respect of the most common sales contracts, i.e. ex-Works, Free on board (Fob) , Cost and Freight (CFR) and Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF). rnrnThe Marine Cargo Insurance offers four types of covers: rnrn· Institute Cargo Clause (C): Named Peril basis.rn This is the most restricted clause and covers only: loss or damage reasonably attributable to rnrno Fire or explosion rnrno Vessel or craft being stranded grounded sunk or capsized rnrno Overturning or derailment of land conveyance rnrno Collision or contact of vessel craft or conveyance with any external object other than water rnrno discharge of cargo at a port of distress and loss or damage caused by � General Average Sacrifice / Jettison rnrn· Institute Cargo Clause (B): Named Peril basis.rn This cover is similar to �C� Clause, but in addition covers: rnrno Earthquake, volcanic eruption or lightning rnrno Washing overboard rnrno Entry of sea, lake or river water into the vessel, craft, hold, conveyance, container, liftman or place of storage rnrno Total loss of any package lost overboard or dropped whilst loading onto, or unloading from, vessel or craft rnrn· Institute Cargo Clause (A): The widest form of cover under Marine Cargo Insurance in so far as it relates to the perils covered. ICC (A) is an unnamed perils clause. rnrn· Institute Cargo Clause (Air). rnrnrnrnrn· Extensions rnrnrnrn· Various clauses can be added on depending upon the nature of the goods being carried. The Institute Cargo Clauses comprise a range of covers from the most comprehensive ones such as (A) Clauses to the basic minimum protection available termed (C) Clauses. rnrn· Additional cover can also be provided for the following: rnrn· Loading and Unloading rnrn· Customs duty rnrn· Removal of debris rnrnrnrnrnrnTypes of policies rnrnrnrn· Policies are customizable to your needs, with a specific policy to cover each single consignment. There are also other various types of policies: rnrnrnrn· Open Policy - This policy covers all the marine sending of a client in a 12 month policy period where the voyage involved is within a country (domestic/inland) rnrn· Open Cover � This policy covers all the marine sending of a client in a 12 month policy period where the voyage involved is import or export rnrn· Specific Voyage or Time Policy - These policies are issued to firms that require coverage for a specific voyage. It is suitable for those firms who seldom require marine cargo policies in the course of their trade.rnrn These policies are issued on a "from and to" basis and the cover commences once the goods leave the place of origin named in the policy and terminates on delivery at the place of destination.rnrn Sometimes these policies are also issued in terms of duration of the voyage, in which case the cover commences on the date and time specified for the same in the policy. Inland specific transit will exclude terrorism. rnrn· Duty Insurance Policy - Customs duties form a major part of the cost of imported goods. Once the goods land at the port of destination custom, duty becomes payable.rnrn In case the goods are damaged during the transit from the port to the importer's warehouse, the CIF value is not sufficient to represent the actual value of the goods since the custom duties should have already been paid.rnrn This additional element of cost can be covered by a duty Insurance Policy. Claims under a duty policy are only payable if the claim is otherwise admissible in the marine cargo policy covering the goods. rnrn· rnrn· Seller�s Contingency Policy - In almost all export transactions where credit is allowed by the seller to the Buyer and the goods are not exported on CIF basis, responsibility for the goods passes to the Buyer when the goods are loaded on to the overseas vessel. but ownership does not change until the Buyer accepts the goods and relative documents.rnrn Thus, if the seller is allowing credit to the Buyer and has shipped goods on FOd terms, where the responsibility for loss or damage to the goods is passed to the Buyer when the goods are loaded on to the overseas vessel, the seller has no control over the conditions of the insurance cover arranged by the Buyer.rnrn In the event of loss of or damage to the goods in transit from a peril insured against and the Buyer refusing to pay for such loss or damage, the seller could stand to lose financially. Seller's Interest or Contingency Interest cover could help to prevent this.rnrn The cover is normally arranged as an extension of FOd cover. The seller's interest cover in effect retrospectively reinstates cover, as per Institute Cargo Clauses as provided for in the policy and allows the seller to be protected in an area where he has no control over the insurance arrangement. rnrnrnrnrnrn· E-marine � We Have The facility which provides any time marine certificate issuance facility to clients/ intermediary.
