What is cargo insurance?
Cargo insurance is a type of transportation insurance policy designed to protect goods against various risks and accidents that may occur during transportation. This insurance allows goods owners, merchants, transportation companies and all those involved in the transportation process to compensate for accidents, theft, fire, accidents, damage caused by adverse weather conditions, physical damage to goods and any damage to their cargo in the event of an accident. There are different types of cargo insurance, which we will discuss below.
Types of cargo insurance
Import Cargo Insurance
Import cargo insurance helps importers protect their cargo and shipments against risks such as theft, physical damage, road accidents, adverse weather conditions and fire, and thus compensate for possible losses and damages. Import cargo insurance provides the necessary coverage from the moment the goods are purchased from the country of origin until they reach the final destination.
Export Cargo Insurance
Export cargo insurance is designed for goods that are exported from Iran to other countries. This insurance covers goods against risks such as adverse weather conditions, transportation accidents, theft and damage during transportation. Export cargo insurance gives exporters the assurance that in the event of an accident, damages will be compensated quickly and appropriately.
Domestic Cargo Insurance
This type of insurance applies to goods that are transported and moved within a country. Domestic cargo insurance is usually issued for the transportation of goods within the borders of a country by domestic transportation companies. This insurance provides the owner of the goods with the assurance that in the event of an accident, damage to the cargo will be compensated.
Combined Insurance
Combined insurance is used when several different types of vehicles, such as trucks, ships, and aircraft, are used to transport goods. This type of insurance covers all stages of transportation from origin to destination. Combined insurance is especially useful in international transportation and for goods that need to be transported through several different routes.
