Transport Insurance
One of our major aim is to get an optimum riskminimization in case of loss, theft or damage of your goods. This especially in connection with very complicate and complex liability regulations of the different involved carriers.
In cooperation with one of the leading transportinsurance, we have worked out special INSURANCE MODELS, which can be adapted to individual client requests anytime.
For more information, especially about the forwarders responsibility, other risks, the insurance rules AÖTB 2001 and more, you can find at the following links.
! Please note, that we will not take any responsibility for any interpretationmistakes out of the translated AÖTB 2001. !
Responsibility
The Cooperation with your Forwarder is as a Rule based on the "ALLGEMEINEN ÖSTERREICHISCHEN SPEDITEURBEDINGUNGEN", short AÖSP, only.
Under AÖSp the Insurance Coverage is regulated by the SVS ( Speditionsversicherungsschein-Forwarder)/ RVS (Rollfuhrversicherungschein-Trucking) or in additional by the LVS (Lagerversicherungsschein-Warehousing).
SVS-RVS-LVS is covering Loss, Theft or Damages as well as property damages.
Certainly there is the Option to refuse that Insurance Programm and to be declared as "VERBOTSKUNDE". In that Case, the Forwarders LIABILITY is limited to EUR 1,09/ kgs resp. a maximum of EUR 1.090,00/ Event.
Property damage
Property Damages are Events not directly and pysically happening on the Goods. A real classic Event for above is, that your Forwarder classify your Merchant under a wrong Customs Tariff number during Customs Clearance, so that the payable duties can be higher than should be.
Furthermore, by mistake the Deadline for offical appeal will be missed, so that a return of excessive Duties can't be applied anymore.
Finally a Damage on your Property and happening unequivocal under Control of your Forwarder and can be regulated by the SVS-SPEDITIONSVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN only.
SVS/RVS/LVS
SVS - SPEDITIONSVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN is covering damages, happening only under custody of the forwarder and based on there unequivocal fault.
RVS - ROLLFUHRVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN is covering damages happening during delivery or pick up by the forwarders own trucking within 80 kms starting from the forwarders terminal. Here the claim has to be result of an unequivocal forwarders fault as well.
LVS - LAGERVERSICHERUNGSSCHEIN is covering damages during the storage in the forwarders warehouse and out of unequivocal fault.
The Exception of the coverage are damages caused by ELEMENTARY EVENTS, as fire, tap water or burglary. According to the flexible insurance program, an adequate solution for the protection can be found.
Application
The Coverage of SVS/RVS/LVS will be arranged automatically upon the Transportorder given to us. The Premium will be documented on the Transportinvoice and automatically transfered to the Assurance to secure the Coverage.
Only in Case of Declaration to the "VERBOTSKUNDE" we need to get a written Information with the note about the change of the Forwarders Liability.
