How is Eurasia Rail Express Delay Insurance different from a standard cargo policy?

Traditional cargo insurance covers physical damage or loss (the 'Box'). Eurasia's Parametric Delay Insurance covers financial losses caused by time (the 'Clock'). We bridge the gap for consequential losses like factory downtime or missed sales, which are typically excluded from standard policies.

What is Parametric Insurance and why is it faster for rail and sea freight?

Parametric insurance uses objective data triggers (like GPS or AIS satellite tracking) rather than subjective claims assessment. Once the delay threshold—such as 10 days for sea or 24 hours for air—is verified by our independent data oracles, a payout is triggered automatically without the need for a claims adjuster.

Do I need to prove a financial loss to receive a payout from ESCM?

No. Unlike traditional claims, you do not need to provide invoices for lost sales or proof of business interruption. The payout is triggered by the event of the delay itself, providing immediate liquidity that you can use however you need to mitigate the disruption.

What are the specific delay triggers for Asia-Europe transit?

We offer precision triggers tailored to your mode of transport. For Air Cargo, thresholds include 6, 12, or 24-hour delays. For Maritime Freight via the Middle Corridor, triggers are set at 6, 8, or 10-day delays. Coverage begins the moment cargo departs the origin port.

What is Maritime Parametric Cargo Delay Compensation?

It is a data-driven financial guarantee triggered by transit time. If AIS satellite data confirms a vessel is delayed beyond a 10-day threshold, a payout is triggered automatically without the need to prove physical damage.

Does the delay insurance cover the Middle Corridor rail route?

Currently, Parametric Delay Compensation is available for Maritime and Air freight. Rail shipments between China and Europe are not yet covered by this specific automated payout model.

Cargo Delay Compensation Explained

Our Cargo Delay Compensation add-on helps protect your cash flow when cargo is delayed in transit. It adds a financial safety net against qualifying delays, complementing your existing cargo insurance rather than replacing it.

How does ESCM Delay Compensation differ from my existing cargo cover?

Conventional cargo insurance usually covers physical loss or damage only. Our parametric insurance covers business interruption, consequential damages, additional costs, and price loss. In other words, it covers time and liquidity (the "clock"). While standard policies and carrier liability exclude financial losses caused by transit delays, we fill that gap. It creates no extra hassle for you, as we don’t replace your existing policy. If you choose to include delay compensation cover, we simply add it on as a financial safety net against supply chain disruption.

Do I need to provide proof of financial loss to receive a Delay Compensation?

What are the specific delay triggers for Air and Sea freight?

Does this cover "Acts of God" or labor strikes at ports or airports?

Does Cargo Delay Insurance protect againts Geopolitical Risks?

Traditional marine cargo insurance and even standard "War Risk" policies almost always exclude consequential loss or financial loss due to delay.

During geopolitical crises, carriers often invoke Force Majeure (Acts of God) to legally waive their liability for delays. For example, if a ship is diverted around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid a conflict zone, a traditional policy will not pay for the extra 15 days of transit time.

Parametric policy is different, as it is based on a mathematical trigger. Therefore, the carrier's "Force Majeure" defense does not apply and the "clock" is the only judge. If the shipment is late, the insurance pays without question.
