Deep‑Dive: Clauses, Valuation and Policy Structures
Marine: Clauses & Valuation
Institute Cargo Clauses ICC (A/B/C) and Inland Transit Clauses determine covered perils. Valuation often follows Invoice/CIF + a % uplift (e.g., +10%) to cover incidental expenses. Add SRCC/War as permitted; reefer/temperature‑controlled cargo requires specific warranties.
Open Policy/Open Cover vs Specific policies; monthly declarations and quick COI issuance.
Warehouse‑to‑Warehouse wording to minimize gaps in multi‑leg movement.
Project/ODC: route survey, lifting plans and packaging warranties are critical; DSU/ALOP availability varies.
Stock Throughput (STP)
Combines transit and storage into one policy for RM/WIP/FG, often improving cost and continuity.
Specify turnover, transit split (road/sea/air), max values at each location, cold‑chain notes.
Coordinate clauses (ICC/ITC) with storage conditions and warranties to avoid overlaps/gaps.
Fire/Property & Bharat Policies
For SMEs, Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha (BSUS) and Bharat Laghu Udyam Suraksha (BLUS) are standard frameworks; Bharat Griha Raksha (BGR) for home. Larger industrial risks may qualify for Industrial All Risk (IAR) — verify in consultation.
Sum insured basis: Reinstatement (RIV) vs Market Value; consider Escalation %.
Stocks: Declaration/Floater; add‑ons like EQ, STFI, RSMD, Spontaneous Combustion.
Risk engineering: hydrants/sprinklers, electrical audits, housekeeping and separation from hazards can reduce loadings.
Documentation for Fast Quotes
Prior policy copy (if any) and past claims summary.
For Marine/STP: commodity/packaging, routes, mode split, turnover, limits, declarations process.
For Fire/Property: risk address, occupancy, SI split, protections, nearby exposures, photos/layout.
