International Transport Insurance

International Transport Insurance — Multimodal Coverage

For multimodal shipments moving by sea, road or both, binding each transhipment to a separate policy creates complexity and cost. International transport insurance consolidates all transport modes and transhipments under one policy, providing door-to-door (warehouse-to-warehouse) protection.

Multimodal Insurance Benefits

  • One policy — one premium — one management
  • No coverage gaps at transhipment points
  • Single insurer to deal with for any claim
  • Often more economical than separate policies
  • Continuous protection via open cover annual policies

Coverage and Clauses

  • ICC A (All Risks) standard cover
  • War and strike clauses
  • General Average contribution
  • Transhipment station damage
  • Temporary storage damage
  • Insurance renewal clause (exporter benefit)

Suitable Shipments

  • Sea + road combination shipments — Voltim sea + road transport integrated
  • FCA, FOB, EXW shipments where buyer holds transport responsibility
  • Annual recurring export/import operations (open cover)
  • One-off project shipments

Open Cover (Annual) Policies

For clients shipping 50+ times yearly we recommend open cover annual policies; no separate application per shipment, just notification suffices. Voltim arranges these policies through partner insurance companies and follows them up within its policy management service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is international transport insurance and how does it work?
International transport insurance is a single-policy solution that consolidates all transport modes and transhipments of a shipment moving by sea, road or both, providing door-to-door (warehouse-to-warehouse) protection. It removes the complexity and cost of binding each transhipment to a separate policy: one policy, one premium, one management. There are no coverage gaps at transhipment points, and in the event of a claim you deal with a single insurer.
Which transport modes and shipment types does international transport insurance cover?
The policy is designed for multimodal shipments, particularly sea + road combinations, and can be arranged through partner insurers alongside Voltim's sea freight and road transport services. It suits FCA, FOB and EXW sales where the buyer holds transport responsibility, annual recurring export/import operations (under open cover) and one-off project shipments. All transhipments are covered under a single policy, warehouse to warehouse, without interruption.
Which risks and clauses are included in the coverage?
Standard cover is based on the ICC A (All Risks) clause. It is complemented by war and strike clauses, General Average contribution, transhipment station damage and temporary storage damage; an insurance renewal clause can also be included for the exporter's benefit. As a result, the cargo remains continuously protected warehouse to warehouse, regardless of transport mode, with no coverage gaps at transhipment points.
What is an open cover annual policy and who is it suitable for?
An open cover annual policy provides continuous protection for all shipments made during the year under a single framework agreement. No separate policy application is required per shipment; a simple notification suffices. Voltim recommends open cover annual policies for companies shipping 50 or more times per year. This structure is often more economical than separate policies and can be followed up through Voltim's policy management service.
How is pricing determined for international transport insurance?
Pricing follows a single-premium principle: because all transport modes and transhipments are consolidated in one policy, this structure is often more economical than arranging separate policies. The premium reflects factors such as cargo value, the transport modes used, the route and the scope of cover selected (ICC A plus additions such as war and strike clauses). For recurring annual operations, open cover annual policies add further efficiency. Contact Voltim for a quote tailored to your shipment profile.
