Cargo insurance covers goods against damage or loss while in transit from one location to another. Quick Cargo Insurance provides coverage for your shipment with Hapag-Lloyd.

Carrier liability is often limited as per the bill of lading or sea waybill terms and conditions in accordance with national law and international conventions. To be covered for the full value of your items, you need full replacement-value primary cargo insurance, such as Quick Cargo Insurance.

Coverage is provided for transport under the Hapag-Lloyd bill of lading or sea waybill. Currently, coverage is only available when the start port is in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, Austria, Finland, Chile, South Korea, or Italy. Further countries will be added soon.

Like all marine cargo insurance policies, Quick Cargo Insurance excludes war risks. To insure against these perils, you need a specific agreement with the insurer for an additional premium. If you would like to ask about war-risks insurance, please contact Chubb.

Expenses related to general average are covered by Quick Cargo Insurance. General average (also known as havarie grosse) is a principle of maritime law that can be declared by the vessel owner under specific circumstances. In a general-average event, the master voluntarily sacrifices part of the cargo, equipment, or vessel and/or makes extraordinary expenses to prevent the total loss of a vessel, crew, and its cargo to complete the voyage. In this case, all stakeholders involved in the voyage (including all cargo owners) have to make a proportional contribution to cover the losses and costs incurred. Your insurer Chubb will assist in providing the necessary securities (via limited guarantee if needed) to ensure the release of the cargo following a general average.

Quick Cargo Insurance is an all-risks policy, meaning that it covers all risks that are not specifically excluded. There are some standard exclusions, such as loss or damage caused by delay, inherent vice of the goods, war, strikes, and riots. Please refer to the terms and conditions for more details. All-risks cover is sometimes referred to as Institute Cargo Clauses (A), or “A” Clauses.

When declaring the value of the shipment, you must provide a fair market value. If your goods are lost or damaged and the amount declared is found to be less than the true value, the claim settlement that you receive may be reduced accordingly.

There are four product groups that can be insured by Quick Cargo Insurance:

• Industrial and commercial products,
• Foodstuffs, mechanical products, and appliances.
• Goods at risk of breakage or leakage.
  Please note that some goods cannot be insured, such as motor vehicles or dangerous goods.

You can only purchase Quick Cargo Insurance for your goods before you have handed them over to the custody of Hapag-Lloyd or a subcontractor involved by Hapag-Lloyd. Unfortunately you cannot buy it later and backdate the inception date (start date).

Currently, the only payment method available is SEPA direct debit, which is quick and easy. To buy the insurance, simply provide your bank details (account holder, IBAN, etc.) during the online purchase process. The premium will be booked from your bank account within one week after purchase.  Alternative payment methods (e.g. credit card payment) are planned for the future.

Quick Cargo Insurance provides all-risks cover. Broadly speaking, all damages to your goods during the voyage will be covered up to the full value of goods if declared correctly. There are some damages that are excluded: these are defined and named in your policy outline. Please refer to the fact sheet and terms and conditions for more details.

As all-risks cover, Quick Cargo Insurance covers all risks except those explicitly defined in the terms and conditions. These include war risks, nuclear energy, insolvency of the shipowner, charterer, or operator of the ship, delay, inherent vice of the goods, common differences in quantity and weight, normal humidity or usual temperature fluctuations, noncompliant packaging, and indirect damages.
