Also AsstrA offers you an extra service - insurance of your cargo. Insurance on "all risks" conditions is the optimal solution even for the most demanding clients.

Main differences between carrier’s liability and cargo insurance
Not all the losses are reimbursed by carriers. Carrier’s liability is limited by national and international laws and agreements such as CMR Convention. According to CMR Convention carriers are not responsible for any loss or damage of cargo that arises from the following:

• loading, handling, storage or unloading of goods (art.17.4); 
• unforeseen circumstances that carriers could not avoid and consequences that they could not prevent (art. 17.2), e.g. robbery (provided there is no carelessness on the part of a driver) etc.

In these cases cargo owner suffers those losses, which are not reimbursed by carriers. Thus, to avoid such losses it is worthwhile to insure the cargo itself that implies reimbursement of the full cargo value to cargo owner.
