Apart from the above coverage, in the event of transportation by sea, it grants cover against all accidental perils of the sea, jettisoning and dragging overboard by waves and fire and theft in transshipment or destination ports.

Freight transport provides protection against breakage and damage to goods that may occur during loading or unloading operations.

This coverage has exclusions and limitations to counteract fraud or negligence.

Coverage of the risk of breakage and damage to insured goods, with the following exceptions: poor stowing, inadequate loading, defect in the lashing or insufficiency or insuitability of the container of the goods.

The costs of removing and destroying the remains of the insured goods are covered when they have been affected by any of the risks assumed by the policy.
