Liability of the carrier
Transportations with a guarantee
The activities of the carriers always presuppose certain risks. Insurance of the carrier’s liability helps to avoid unexpected losses arising within the framework of carriers’ civil liability.
We conclude liability insurance contracts with the carriers engaged in transportation of goods with the help of motor vehicles on the territory of the Republic of Belarus and foreign countries in accordance with the:
- International Convention “On the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road dated 1956 (CMR) for international road transportations;
- requirements provided for by the “European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR, Geneva 1957) and applied to international carriage of hazardous waste - in accordance with the “Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal (Basel, 1989);
- requirements provided for by the national legislation of the countries, through the territory of which the goods are transported.
We offer the customer to choose from three options of the carrier’s liability insurance:
1. "Declaration for a certain period": the insurance coverage applies to all cargo transportations within the validity period of the insurance policy. The insurant shall
periodically submit information on the actual freight volume (declaration of all cargo transportations that began during the reporting period).
2. "Obligatory declaration of each cargo transportation": insurance coverage applies only to shipments registered (declared) before they began. The declaration should be submitted to
the insurer not later than the day preceding the day of cargo acceptance for transportation. Acceptance of cargo transportation for insurance shall be confirmed by our representative’s
signature and seal attached to the declaration.
3. "Fixed annual fee for each vehicle": insurance coverage applies to all cargo transportations during the validity period of the insurance contract performed by means of using the
vehicles specified in the policy. In this case, the insurant shall not be obliged to submit information about the actual freight volume for the insurance period.
Depending on the type of cargo transportation, the insurance coverage may include the risks of:
- loss and/or damage of cargo, including loss of cargo as a result of its provision to an unauthorized recipient;
- financial losses as a result of delay in delivery of goods accepted for transportation in accordance with the CMR Convention;
- liability to the customs authorities in connection with payment of customs duties (except for the violations, to which the Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets (TIR Convention 1975) applies);
- causing harm to the lives, health, property of third parties during the cargo transportation.
The insurance policy value depends on the insurance option selected as well as on the liability limit, risks included in the insurance coverage, type of cargo etc.
