Shipping and transport

• Recreational boat owners
• Airline companies

Our team of experts will help you find the coverage that is right for you and your specific needs:

If your company provides its own shipping for the transport of goods or entrusts it to a professional carrier, this interests you. International transport conventions provide for limitations on the carrier’s liability, even if the carrier is supposed to benefit from insurance associated with the purpose of his activity.

To protect against non-refundable losses and carrier insolvency risks, the cargo coverage, commonly known as the “cargo policy”, covers the shipment of your goods from end to end against all ordinary or exceptional risks that may arise during transport (domestic and international) and during transit stays.

Un contrat sera établi par nos spécialistes en fonction de vos besoins:

•  A travel insurance policy taken out for a one-time shipment.
•  A subscription insurance policy taken out by operators with many shipments to insure: It offers the advantage of automatic coverage of the goods and exempts the insured from negotiating insurance before each shipment.
•  Policy to be supplied to companies or traders carrying out shipments over a specified period of time. It extinguishes itself with the last expedition.

Shipowner’s hull insurance covers damage, loss, third party claims and expenses resulting from marine casualties and accidents that occur to the insured ship. It is therefore more a damage insurance than a liability insurance.

Damages insurance

Shipowner’s hull insurance is first and foremost a non-life insurance policy that covers losses of any kind resulting from external events other than internal mechanical damage related to its operation, such as sea fortunes.

The scope of coverage may vary depending on the forms of policies purchased:

•  “All Risks” type policy
•  “FAP EXCEPT” font”

Liability insurance

It is a policy that insures against certain third party claims for material and immaterial damage resulting from an accident or collision.

Liability coverage can be covered by either the Body and Engine policy or the P&I Club coverage.

Other coverages may also be recommended to the insured:

•  The Bonne Arrivée guarantee to cover additional capital at body value
•  The Business interruption coverage
