Frequently Asked Questions

What is marine cargo (All Risks) insurance and what does it cover?

Marine cargo (All Risks) insurance is the most comprehensive policy type, protecting transported cargo against damage, loss, theft and natural disasters. Cover runs warehouse-to-warehouse, from the origin warehouse before loading to the final delivery point after discharge. Through partner insurance companies, Voltim arranges ICC A, B and C compliant policies and supports claims and compensation follow-up for sea and road transport; natural disasters such as storm, flood and earthquake, as well as General Average contributions, are also included.

What is the difference between ICC A, B and C clauses?

ICC (A) — All Risks is the widest cover, including all types of damage and loss. ICC (B) covers specific risk groups such as fire, collision, sinking and capsizing, while ICC (C) provides basic risk cover and is the most economical option. War, strike, terror and malice risks are insurable only through additional clauses under any of the three. Voltim guides you in selecting the clause that matches your cargo and route.

Which cargo and policy types is All Risks insurance suitable for?

All Risks insurance is suitable for container (FCL/LCL) cargo, TIR and truck loads, and multimodal shipments, applying to both sea and road transport. Single-voyage policies are issued for one-off shipments, while annual open cover policies suit companies shipping regularly. Voltim arranges the most appropriate policy through partner insurers based on your cargo type and shipment frequency, alongside its sea freight and road transport services.

What does All Risks insurance not cover?

Even standard All Risks cover does not automatically include war, strike, terror and malice risks; these are insurable only through additional clauses attached to the policy. Every policy also contains defined exclusions. Voltim assesses which supplemental clauses your shipment requires based on its route and cargo type, and arranges the policy accordingly with partner insurers to minimise coverage gaps.

How does the claims process work if the cargo is damaged?

When cargo damage is detected, notify Voltim's team, which is reachable 24/7. An independent surveyor is then appointed, the expert report is prepared, and the compensation process is actively pursued with the insurer. Your claims file is thus managed from opening through to indemnity payment. Support with process details and required documents is provided under our policy management service.
