6.1 Consult about Insurance 保险咨询

W: May I ask you a few questions about insurance?

M: Yes.

W: Now we've given a CIF Shanghai price for some steel plates. What insurance rate do you suggest we should get?

M: Well. Obviously, you won’t want All Risks cover.

W: Why not?

M: Because they aren’t delicate goods and won’t likely be damaged on the voyage. FPA will be good enough.

W: Then am I right in understanding that FPA doesn't cover partial loss for the nature of particular average.

M: That's right. On the other hand, a WFA policy covers you against partial loss in all cases.

W: Are there any other clauses in marine policies?

M: Oh, lots of them. For instance: War Risks, TPND and SRCC.

W: Well, thank you very much for all that information. Could you give me a quotation for my consignment now?

M: Are you going to make an offer today?

W: Yes. My customer is in urgent need of the steel plates.

M: Ok, I'll get this rate right away.

W: Thank you.
