FOREWORD TRADE IS FAR FROM SIMPLE The complexities of an insurance transaction that are covered in a few words in the insuring terms are only ever truly tested by claims. UIB s acknowledgement of this drives us to offer a complete claims service. We appreciate that the standard and level of service we provide is of paramount importance. UIB London understands this and has built its entire business culture around claims service. We aim to have detailed discussions with clients to implement the structures that will assist in seamless claims handling.

GENERAL PROMPT REPORTING The global insurance markets have developed protocols for the handling of claims and responsibilities of each party. Cargo insurance has clearly defined these and the major markets act in concert. Within this document we provide a commentary on what is required plus guidance notes. All should be aware that each insurance is an individual contract and could contain exceptions or additional requirements if in doubt please contact UIB for further advice. For all claims being advised under a cargo insurance contract, prompt reporting of loss or damage is essential in order to permit the appointment of a surveyor (if deemed necessary) or to take any other action felt necessary to assist in minimising the loss and handling the claim. Unless the policy requires direct notification to your (re)insurers (refer to your policy conditions), then immediate notification of a potential claim should be made to UIB. We, as your agent, will in turn promptly notify your (re)insurers and communicate in writing any instructions or comments your (re)insurers issue. We will continue to communicate with you and diligently pursue claim settlement on your behalf from (re)insurers. For a full list UIB claims and placing contacts, please refer to the back page of this guide and/or the claims guide which is contained within your Evidence of Cover. These notes/guidelines provide important notices to claimants and should be followed as they set out best insurance practice. DUTY OF ASSURED AND LIABILITY OF CARRIERS, BAILEES 1 OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES It is the duty of the Assured and their Agents, in all cases, to take such measures as may be reasonable for the purpose of averting or minimising a loss and to ensure that all rights against Carriers, Bailees or other third parties are properly preserved and exercised. (Re)Insurers will reimburse you for any expenses that are properly and reasonably incurred in pursuance of these duties resulting from an insured peril. In particular, the Assured or their Agents are required:- 1. To claim immediately on the Carriers, Port Authorities or other Bailees for any missing packages. 2. In no circumstances, except under written protest, to give clean receipts where goods are in doubtful condition. 3. When delivery is made by Container, to ensure that the Container and its seals are examined immediately by their responsible official. If the Container is delivered damaged or with seals broken or missing or with seals other than as stated in the shipping documents, to clause the delivery receipt accordingly and retain all defective or irregular seals for subsequent identification. 4. To apply immediately for survey by Carriers or other Bailees Representatives if any loss or damage be apparent and claim on the Carriers or other Bailees for any actual loss or damage found at such survey. 5. To give notice in writing to the Carriers or other Bailees within 3 days of delivery if the loss or damage was not apparent at the time of taking delivery NOTE:- The Consignee s or their Agents are recommended to make themselves familiar with the Regulations of the Port Authorities at the port of discharge. BAILEES 1 (Definition) A party (e.g. port and/or dock authority, warehouseman, container operator, etc) who enters into a contract of bailment (a contract that incorporates conditions under which the bailee agrees to care for the property of the bailor) with the bailor to look after the goods whilst in the care of the overseas carrier is also a bailee in regard to the contract of carriage. A bailee has an insurable interest in his potential liability under the contact. MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE 4
DOCUMENTATION GENERAL CARGO Complete documentation must be forwarded to UIB (and/or surveyor if one is required). Documentation will include, if and where applicable: 1. Bill(s) of Lading/Airway Bill(s) 2. Packing List 3. Commercial Invoice 4. Original insurance certificate or declaration details as applicable 5. Written claim against the carrier(s)/freight forwarder(s) 6. Confirmation of non-delivery or carrier reply if received 7. Itemised claim statement 8. Delivery receipt 9. Repair/Expense bills 10. Any other documentation particular to loss which may be necessary This list of documentation should be viewed as a basic guide list as the items insured, the cause of the loss or one of many other reasons and (re)insurers may call for additional supporting documentation. Upon receipt of all necessary information, the claim will be reviewed, adjusted by UIB and forwarded to your (re)insurers. As there is the potential for prejudicing recovery/subrogation 2 rights under the policy, no settlement should be accepted from a carrier responsible for loss or damage without first obtaining approval from (re)insurers via UIB. It is important that exceptions be taken in writing on all receipts. This will not only facilitate the processing of the claim with (re)insurers but is also extremely important for subrogation purposes. Subrogation 2 See Page 16 for further details 5 MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE
DOCUMENTATION BULK CARGOES (OIL/GAS/LIQUID/DRY COMMODITIES AND SIMILAR) Bulk cargo claims differ from general non-bulk cargo claims. The supporting documentation for a loss, especially under a Guaranteed Outturn (GOT) cover, will be more extensive than for other cargoes. In the event of an occurrence that could give rise to a claim under the policy, immediate notification should be given to UIB to enable us to consult (re)insurers regarding possible appointment of independent loss adjusters and/or chemical analysts. It is strongly recommended that UIB be advised of all losses or situations which may give rise to a loss under your policy. This enables UIB to give provisional notice to (re)insurers and to monitor the progress of the claim and its adjustment, particularly with regard to protection of any possible time bar situations. The following documents/procedures will normally be required in support of any claim presented for settlement under the policy: 1. Copy of independent inspector s loading report 2. Copy of independent inspector s discharge report 3. Original Bill of Lading 4. Copy of Charter Party 5. Copy of Commercial Purchase and Sales Invoice 6. Copy of Commercial Purchase and Sales Contracts 7. Fully sealed samples of the cargo should be taken at loadport/during loading on board the carrying vessel and at discharge port. These are to be retained for possible testing by analytical chemists, in the event of a claim for alleged contamination. 8. Original insurance certificate or declaration details as applicable 9. Written claim against the carrier 10. Itemised claim statement MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE 6
DELAY IN START UP INSURANCE (DSU) If your contract provides cover for Delay in Start Up (DSU) or Advanced Loss of Profits (ALOP), we would remind you that in the event of loss of, or damage to, a critical item and/or any item where the time frame for replacement or repair could possibly result in a delay in start-up of the project, it is extremely important that immediate notice is given to UIB to enable us to seek (re)insurers instructions. In such circumstances it is likely that (re)insurers will immediately instruct a surveyor or an adjuster with whom we would request that you/the (re)assured fully liaise and cooperates with a view to minimising and mitigating the loss. GENERAL AVERAGE The carriage of goods by sea is deemed to be a joint venture between ship-owners and cargo-owners, and the maritime convention places a responsibility on the ship-owner to safeguard the common interest and incur necessary additional or extraordinary costs in so doing. There is no governing international statute and consequently the Comite Maritime International C.M.I. sponsored conditions (York-Antwerp Rules 1974 and subsequent amendments) are incorporated in most marine contracts of carriage (Bills of Lading). Situations may arise whereby the carrying vessel experiences a fortuity [incident] during the course of the voyage resulting in additional and/or extraordinary expenses being incurred by the ship-owners. Typical examples of a fortuity are engine/machinery breakdown, fire, or collision with another vessel and/or fixed or floating object, such incidents resulting in additional expenditure in saving the venture/cargo. In the event of additional or extraordinary costs being incurred in successfully (or partially) saving the venture, ship-owners will look to cargo owners to contribute towards such costs. In such circumstances, ship-owners may declare General Average, and in doing so will automatically exercise a Maritime Lien on the cargo for its pro-rata [proportional] share of the total additional and/or extraordinary costs. Before any cargo is released ship-owners will require from each Bill of Lading holder a signed General Average Bond plus either a cash deposit or a General Average Guarantee signed by Cargo (re)insurers, based on the percentage of the invoice value of the of the cargo deemed to reflect the proportion due from cargo interests. 7 MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE
GENERAL AVERAGE DOCUMENTATION Since the insurance policy covers General Average expenses, your (re)insurers will issue their own General Average Guarantee to ship-owners instead of the cash deposit. For your guidance this procedure is universally accepted. It should be pointed out that whilst (re)insurers will deal with the Guarantee aspect, shipowners will still require the Assured to complete the General Average Bond (the Average Bond is your guarantee to provide full information and to pay the contribution when due). To facilitate prompt release of the cargo, it is essential that UIB are immediately notified of the incident, and that the following information is provided: 1. Copy of the completed General Average Bond, together with copies of all correspondence received from the ship-owners and/or their appointed General Average Adjusters 2. Copy of commercial invoice 3. Copy of ocean Bill of Lading 4. Copy of Certificate of Insurance or declaration details as applicable Upon receipt of the above, immediate steps can be taken to issue the General Average Guarantee, which will facilitates release and delivery of the cargo. SALVAGE In certain situations the vessel may require the services of a salvage company. In such an event Salvors will require salvage security from cargo owners and will retain a maritime lien on the cargo until acceptable security is provided. Since the insurance policy covers salvage expenses, your (re)insurers will issue their own salvage security. Upon receipt of a demand for salvage security, immediate notice should be given to UIB and the following information provided: 1. Copy of the salvage demand, together with copies of all correspondence received from the ship-owners and/or Salvors 2. Copy of commercial invoice 3. Copy of ocean Bill of Lading 4. Copy of Certificate of Insurance or declaration details as applicable Upon receipt of the above, immediate steps can be taken to issue the Salvage Security, which will facilitate release and delivery of the cargo.

INCOTERMS The Incoterms rules or International Commercial terms are a series of pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) widely used in international commercial transactions. A series of three-letter trade terms related to common sales practices, the Incoterms rules are intended primarily to clearly communicate the tasks, costs and risks associated with the transportation and delivery of goods. Incoterm rules are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly used terms in international trade. They are intended to reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from different interpretation of the rules in different countries The latest Incoterms (2010) came into force on the 1st January 2011 and have reduced from 13 to 11 which has been achieved by substituting two new rules DAT (Delivered at terminal) and DAP (Delivered at Place) for the Incoterms 2000 rules DAF, DES, DEQ and DDU. The two new rules may be used irrespective of the agreed mode of transport. MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE 10
The 2010 Incoterms rules are presented in two distinct classes: A. RULES FOR ANY MODE OF TRANSPORT EXW Ex Works FCA Free Carrier CPT Carriage Paid to CIP Carriage & Insurance Paid to DAT Delivered at Terminal (new for 2010 rules) DAP Delivered at Place (new for 2010 rules) DDP Delivered Duty Paid B. RULES FOR SEA AND INLAND WATERWAY TRANSPORT FAS Free Alongside Ship FOB Free on Board CFR Cost and Freight CIF Cost, Insurance and Freight Some further explanation of the above terms follow: EXW Ex Works The goods are made available to the buyer at the exporter s premises, suitably packed unless otherwise arranged for a known means of transport. FCA Free Carrier Cost of delivery, cleared for export, into the charge of the carrier named by the buyer at the named place or point. Allied mostly to air and rail transport but could be used for all modes. CPT Carriage Paid To As for CIP, except the cost of insurance is carried by the buyer. Incoterms are intended to clearly communicate the tasks, costs and risks associated with the transportation and delivery of goods CIP Carriage and Insurance Paid To Costs of carriage and insurance of the goods, duty unpaid to the named destination. Applies to all modes of transport. DAT Delivered At Terminal Seller delivers when the goods, once unloaded from the arriving means of transport, are placed at the disposal of the buyer at a named terminal at the named port or place of destination. Both parties should agree the terminal and if possible a point within the terminal at which point the risks will transfer from the seller to the buyer of the goods. If it is intended that the seller is to bear all the costs and responsibilities from the terminal to another point DAP or DDP may apply. DAP Delivered At Place The seller delivers the goods when they are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. Parties are advised to specify as clearly as possible the point within the agreed place of destination, because risks transfer at this point from seller to buyer. If the seller is responsible for clearing the goods, paying duties etc consideration should be given to using the DDP term. 11 MARINE CARGO CLAIMS GUIDE
DDP Delivered Duty Paid Costs of delivery, including duty, paid up to a named place in the country of importation. Applies to all modes of transport. FAS Free Alongside Ship All cost up to delivery on quay or in lighters (barges) at the named port of shipment. Sea or inland waterway transport only.

SUBROGATION One advantage of insurance is that it relieves you of the time and expense involved in pursuing recovery from the party responsible for loss. Once a valid claim is agreed, underwriters will ask you to sign a subrogation form (an example is below). This will enable underwriters to pursue the claim against those parties that are responsible for the loss with the aim of seeking and obtaining a recovery of funds paid in whole or part. Until that time, it is your duty to take all steps necessary to preserve these rights by: Inspecting cargo upon delivery Noting exceptions Filing notice with the carrier within prescribed time limits (Guideline Time Frames are included on page 9) SUBROGATION FORM To the Underwriters of the Goods mentioned below. Vessel: Broker: United Insurance Brokers Ltd No. & Date of Policy: Voyage: I/We acknowledge receipt of the sum of which I/we accept in full satisfaction of our claim in connection with the undermentioned goods (the Goods).
