You can rely on our expertise

Intermont has skilled underwriting and claims teams. They have a second-to-none knowledge of the specific risks inherent to the different types of transport.

If a loss-causing event happens, an independent firm of loss adjusters will be brought in to determine the cause and extent of the loss.

Intermont offers the following transport insurance solutions:

Goods in transit
Container and/or trailer
Transport and assembly
Art, items during exhibitions
Logistics liability
Owner-operator transport

Continuous coverage: conditions are often based on the Dutch Exchange Conditions (Nederlandse Beurscondities), supplemented by specific clauses.

Single cover: conditions are also often based on the Dutch Exchange Conditions, supplemented by specific clauses.

If English conditions are applied, this will be stated explicitly in the proposal.

The size of the sum insured will vary depending on the insured’s needs. The premium will depend on the risk profile, the insured sum, the excess chosen and the claims history.

Land-based equipment and/or machinery and equipment insurance

We are happy to arrange land-based equipment and/or machinery and equipment insurance for a pool of companies. The following aspects are important when determining the premium and/or conditions:

The size of the ‘fleet’ to be insured
The insured value
The claims history
The age of objects
The nature of activities
The excess

Intermont can insure the risk of damage to equipment and offer cover for liability risk. Intermont will also ensure that objects that are required to have a registration number are registered with the National Vehicle and Driving Licence Registration Authority (RDW).

The underwriting of risk will often involve a tailor-made solution, which Intermont will agree on in close consultation with the broker.

An independent firm of loss adjusters will always be brought in when loss happens. Intermont also has its own team of claims handlers with years of experience handling claims involving land-based equipment and other equipment and machinery.

Pleasure craft/vessel

Intermont has been authorised to insure pleasure craft. We do this in close consultation with our risk carrier.

We can insure this risk on the basis of standard pleasure craft conditions, under which cover is provided for damage to the vessel and liability is insured too.

Premiums and excess will depend on the type and age of vessel, the claims history and the navigation area.

Cargo insurance

Intermont has been authorised to insure cargo. We do this in close consultation with our risk carriers. The following standard cover is provided:

The means of transport runs aground, crashes or sinks
Fire, water damage, explosion or theft
An accident happens with the means of transport
Loading or unloading
Damage was incurred in order to avoid worse damage (limitation of loss)
An inherent defect, with the exception of perishable goods (these can be additionally insured under this policy)
