INGO Insurance Company has paid UAH 3.4 million for a spoiled batch of frozen chicken products that was transported from Europe to Ukraine, the company’s website reports.
It is noted that the payment was made under a motor carrier liability insurance contract. The policy provided coverage for the risks of loss or damage to cargo.
The accident occurred during the transportation of 20 tons of frozen chicken products from Europe to Ukraine. The cargo was transported in a refrigerator at a temperature of -18°C. In Poland, the vehicle slid into a ditch and overturned. According to the police, the driver did not take into account the road conditions when making a turn.
The accident resulted in the breakdown of the refrigerator, which caused a temperature violation and damage to the cargo packaging. The carrier organized the loading of the products into another vehicle, but the warm weather caused them to defrost.
The insurance contract was concluded with the participation of Aon, one of the leading international insurance brokers. Aon helped to structure the optimal insurance solution, taking into account the specifics of international transportation and cargo safety requirements, the press release said.
INGO Insurance Company has been providing insurance services for 30 years. Since 2017, the main shareholder has been the Ukrainian business group DCH.
