Dialogue 1
What do your insurance classes cover?
There are three basic covers:namely free from particular average,with particular average,
and all risks.
If we conclude the business on CIF basis,what coverage will you take out for the goods?
Generally speaking,we only insure the goods with particular average,do you cover risks other than WPA? For instance,TPND,risks of leakage,risks of breakage,fresh or rain water
damage?
According to international practice,we did not insure against such risks.unless they are covered for by the buyers.and buyers will pay for the extral premium.
Another thing,we'd like to have the goods insured for 130 percent of the invoice value.
do you think that can be done?
You know our usual practice is insured the goods at 110percent of the invoice vaule.if you insist that you have the goods insured
for 130 percent of the invoice value, i think that can be done.but the premium for the diffrence between 110 percent and 130 percent
of the invoice value shoud be for your account.
That's understood.
Dialogue 2
May i ask a few questions about insurance?
Yes,go ahead,please.
Now,we have given our CIF shanghai price for some steel plates, what insurance rate do you suggest we should get?
Well, obviously,you won't mount all risks covered>
Why not?
Because they are not delicate goods,and won't
likely be damadged on the voyage.FPA will be good enough.
Then i'm arride in understanding that FPA that's not cover partial loss of the nature
of particular average.
That's right,on the orther hand, a WPA policy
