Request for open cover

Glaston Potteries have built up a regular trade with customers across the Atlantic. They now ask for open cover insurance for their shipments.

2. Do Glaston ship general merchandise?

3. What is the destination for Glaston's consignment?

4. Will the policy indemnify against any eventuality, or only in particular cases?

5. Look at letter 12.5.5 and work out Glaston's premium.

6. Which words in the letter correspond to the following: particular, set up; general insurance for a number of shipments; thought?

12.5.5

Quotation for open cover

In an open cover agreement, the exporter can be certain that the consignment is insured once he sends the declaration form. Settlement may either be on a monthly or quarterly basis, or per shipment. When insurance cover is nearly used up, the insurance company will inform the client and ask if he wants to renew the policy.
