Cargo Insurance
Our liability as a carrier is insured by Mannheimer Versicherung AG – a German-registered insurer with the right to work in Lithuania. More information on the Bank of Lithuania website. The insurance policy can be found here.
Our broker is UADBB GrECO Sagauta - the second largest insurance brokerage company in Lithuania, working in the field of insurance since 1996. Claims are investigated by their claim experts.
The importance of freight insurance
Although our company has an efficient cargo handling and maintenance system, the chances freight damage or loss due to circumstances beyond our control still remain, and the carrier's responsibility is limited for the entrusted freight. It is governed in accordance with the international conventions.
The Geneva Convention of 1956 that governs carrier’s liability, provides for the maximum liability of the carrier of 8.33 SDR* per gross kilogram load.
* SDR means Special Drawing Rights.
You can find the exact rate of the SDR on the website of Lithuanian Bank: http://www.lb.lt
Therefore, if Your load is relatively light or expensive, we recommend insuring it additionally with freight insurance.
Upon receipt of the necessary information by e-mail (route, freight name, weight, number of places, value) we will calculate the insurance price for Your specific case.
