Does The Marine Insurance Cover The Risk Of Damage To Goods At A Warehouse At Port Of Discharge Or Just During Voyage?

Answer»

It is standard practice for perishable goods to be shipped under temperature-controlled conditions, regardless of whether carried in containers or otherwise.

The exporter should have included such a condition in his instructions to the carrier and if the contract of CARRIAGE included storage at a warehouse in the port of destination, the temperature-controlled condition should have applied there ALSO. These conditions should also have been reflected in the contract of INSURANCE, but you have not given us this INFORMATION for either of these two CONTRACTS. If delivery is at the port, standard insurance terminates there.
