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.
