Even with the utmost caution, there can occur risks. They cannot be completely avoided, but you can still take effective precautions. We can arrange additional insurance for your shipment, so-called all-risk insurance. Even if you are transporting high-value goods, you will have peace of mind because the insurance company will compensate you for any damage that may occur.
All of insured events are examined in accordance with the CMR Convention. According to the CMR Convention, cargo is insured only on the basis of its total weight (Article 23, points 1-3 of the CMR Convention):
“When the carrier is liable for compensation of damage, the compensation shall be calculated by reference to the value of the goods at the place and time at which they were accepted for carriage (commercial invoice) and cannot exceed 8.33 SDR * per 1 kg of gross weight.”
*SDR (so-called special drawing rights) are supplementary foreign-exchange reserve assets, according to the current exchange rate 8,33 SDR = 10 EUR. This rate the SDR is set by the Czech national bank.
A cargo with a gross weight of 20,000 kg is according to CMR insured for the amount of 200,000 euros (20,000 kg x 10 EUR), when the value of the cargo is higher than 200,000 euros (for example 350,000 euros), the cargo must be additionally insured, because in case of complete damage or loss of cargo, the carrier according to CMR is obligated to refund only 200,000 euros (not 350,000 euros) and the customer loses 150,000 euros!
The above mentioned is important to keep in mind, mainly in cases of the transportation of light and expensive goods.
We can insure your cargo in different ways:
1. additional insurance of value of shipments;
2. additional insurance of shipments on 110%;
3. additional insurance of shipments included also customs costs, freight and other expenses.
The cost of this insurance depends on several factors, primarily, the place of loading, the place of unloading, the mode of transport, the number of reloadings, the type of the cargo and its cost.
