Insurance as part of the logistics operation

Insurance coverage must match the route, the cargo's characteristics, and the shipping documents. That is why the terms are worked out before dispatch and cannot be replaced with a universal public tariff.

  1. “With liability for all risks” coverage

    Insurance coverage is provided on “with liability for all risks” terms within the agreed conditions and applicable exclusions. We work only with verified federal-level insurance companies.

  2. Different modes of transport

    Insurance is available for transportation by different modes: road, rail, sea, and air, as well as within multimodal chains.

  3. Protection along the entire route

    The insurance works throughout the transportation: from the moment of loading to unloading at the destination. In the event of an insured event, we help notify the insurer and inspect the cargo, and support collecting the documents needed to file a claim.

  4. Extensions for your cargo

    The insurance policy can be extended to reflect the specifics of your cargo and additional risks.

Transportation schemes available for insurance

Insurance can be issued for a single shipment or for the entire multimodal chain. The terms are specified with regard to the route, the cargo, and the documents.

Road transport

Rail transport

Air transportation

Air transport

Multimodal transportation

Multimodal transportation

For a chain involving several modes of transport, the terms are worked out with the entire agreed route in mind.

Unified multimodal scheme

The boundaries of insurance protection

The coverage period and territory are fixed in the contract and the application. In public materials, it is important to separate the confirmed general scheme from the individual terms of a specific shipment.

Coverage start

In the confirmed model, the insurance period begins when loading of the goods starts.

Transportation and checkpoints

Insurance is built around the agreed route, the mode of transport, and the documents relating to the specific shipment.

Coverage end

The period ends with unloading at the destination within the terms of the specific contract.

Territory and exclusions

The coverage territory, exclusions, limits, and event procedures are determined by the contract and the application.

When the insurance loop matters most

Below are operational situations where pre-agreed insurance terms help build a clear course of action in the event of a loss.

An international multimodal chain

With several transport legs, the route, documents, and coverage terms are agreed in advance under a unified transportation scheme.

Transportation with a storage location

A limit of up to RUB 3 bn can apply to a single storage location within the agreed contract terms.

An insured event in transit

Prompt notification, cargo inspection, a claim, and a complete set of documents help organize settlement in the established procedure.

How insurance is issued and losses are settled

  1. We receive your application

    We record the route, mode of transport, cargo parameters, and the set of shipping documents — this is enough to select insurance protection for the specific shipment.

  2. We agree on the terms

    We determine the insured amount, period, territory, limits, risks, and exclusions within the specific application.

  3. We issue the insurance policy

    We build the insurance coverage before the transportation starts: the coverage is already in effect from the moment of loading.

  4. We notify about the event

    When an insured event occurs, we notify the insurer and launch the procedures provided for by the insurance contract.

  5. We record the circumstances

    We arrange a cargo inspection and support collecting the documents required for further review of the claim.

  6. We support the settlement

    We help prepare the claim and the set of documents for settling the loss in the established procedure.
