Green Card

The Green Card is an international insurance certificate that confirms the holder of a motor vehicle has the mandatory liability insurance. The Green Card is required in the territory of 13 countries, namely:

  • Albania,
  • Belarus,
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina,
  • Montenegro,
  • Iran,
  • Israel,
  • Russia,
  • North Macedonia,
  • Morocco,
  • Moldova,
  • Tunisia,
  • Turkey,
  • Ukraine.

For countries in the European Union and the European Economic Area, Poles can enter without a Green Card. Following Poland’s accession to the European Union, the mandatory motor vehicle liability insurance (OC) also covers incidents occurring not only within Poland but also in EU member states, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland. Therefore, a Green Card is not required for entry into these countries.

Road Carrier’s Liability Insurance

Road Carrier’s Civil Liability Insurance for domestic, international, and cabotage transport is designed for transportation companies. The subject of these insurance policies is the civil liability of the road carrier, as defined by applicable law (e.g., the Polish Transport Law or the CMR Convention), in connection with the transportation of shipments or goods. Domestic Road Carrier’s Civil Liability Insurance should be taken out by carriers operating within Poland. International Road Carrier’s Civil Liability Insurance is recommended for carriers performing transport between two or more countries. Cabotage Road Carrier’s Civil Liability Insurance provides coverage for transport conducted within a single foreign country.

Taking out Road Carrier’s Civil Liability Insurance ensures effective protection in cases of non-performance or improper performance of a transport contract. This includes not only damage, destruction, or loss of a shipment or goods but also financial losses resulting from, for example, delivery delays or the loss of documents.

In summary, having a well-structured insurance agreement provides the carrier with a sense of security in their business operations and enhances their credibility with clients.

Freight Forwarder’s Liability Insurance

A freight forwarder, in the course of their business, may be liable for compensation due to the loss or damage of a shipment—but that’s not all! A forwarder may also be held responsible even when the shipment itself is not damaged, but the client incurs losses due to improper execution of the forwarding contract. The subject of Freight Forwarder’s Liability Insurance is the civil liability borne by the forwarder for non-performance or improper performance of the forwarding contract. This insurance ensures that the insurer covers the resulting damages in such cases.

A good Freight Forwarder’s Liability Insurance policy guarantees full protection of the forwarder’s interests in the event of claims being made against them. This ensures certainty and security in their business operations.

Freight Forwarder’s Liability Insurance is a way to mitigate the negative impacts associated with running a forwarding business.

Cargo Insurance

Cargo insurance is primarily offered to freight forwarders providing comprehensive cargo handling services. It is also recommended for businesses that bear the risk of loss, shortage, or damage to cargo or are required to obtain such insurance due to trade contracts or banking requirements.

Properly arranged cargo insurance protects the interests of the owner of the transported goods. It ensures compensation for any events that may result in damage to or loss of the cargo. Cargo insurance also safeguards the cargo owner in cases where the carrier or freight forwarder is not legally liable for damages to the entrusted cargo. Moreover, the liability of these entities is typically subject to financial or weight-based limitations imposed by various regulations or conventions. Cargo insurance, however, provides compensation up to the full amount of the loss.

In maritime transport, cargo insurance based on international institute cargo clauses additionally covers the costs of general average and salvage operations.

By offering comprehensive cargo handling services along with insurance, freight forwarders enhance the quality and competitiveness of their services.
