Ad valorem transport insurance

During transportation, your goods may be exposed to various risks: impacts, theft, damage and weather conditions. These risks may be exacerbated by handling operations (during loading and unloading) and storage. Although the carrier is responsible for these inconveniences, his liability is often limited and governed by international regulations and conventions specific to different modes of transport. These agreements outline risk indemnities but do not cover the actual value of the goods unless specified by contractual clauses

To cover damages, losses, and delivery delays during each shipment, TRANSPORTS MARI Limited in London  signed an Ad Valorem all-risk insurance. This ensures that all your goods are safely transported to your chosen destination, whether in England, the UK, Europe, the USA, Canada, Asia, the Middle East, or elsewhere. 

The Ad Valorem insurance policy does not implicate the freight forwarder’s liability. Only lost, damaged, or destroyed goods are compensated, on the basis of their actual value, including transport costs and expected profit. The insurance premium is calculated according to the declared value of the goods. Freight and expense invoices will be used as supporting documents for any compensation claims. 

 

However, there are certain limitations to the coverage provided by the contract. These include: 

  • Hidden defects in the goods 
  • Damages resulting from inadequate or defective packaging 
  • Special goods such as valuables, works of art, live animals, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. 
  • Losses due to causes unrelated to transport 

By requesting our services, you can import or export safely your goods to London.

Regardless of the mode of transport (road, sea or air), you can be assured that your goods will reach at their destination without damages.
