Importance of cargo insurances


Why to take cargo insurances?

It’s always a good option to take preventive measures over your shipment because there are factors that goes beyond our control like bad weather conditions. So if something happens during shipment, a good insurance scheme can lift you up from the loss.



Common types of cargo insurance.

It’s almost like health and life insurances. There are many cargo insurance policies you can choose from. Each has its own coverage and limitations.

1.Land cargo Insurance
It covers your shipment when its being transported via land. It’s a domestic one and coverage is only with in the country. All the land transportation modes are included like Trucks, other utility vehicles
Coverage aspects: theft, collision damage and related risks

2.Marine cargo insurance
This type covers transportation through sea or air. It is mainy used for international shipment. Marine cargo insurance policies are either renewable or permanent. If you’re not a frequent shipper, it’s better to choose the renewable policy as it applies to one-time, single voyages. These tend to be relatively cheap. As for frequent shippers, a permanent policy will cover you for a determined period of time regardless of the number of shipments you’re sending.
Coverage aspects: damage while loading/unloading, bad weather, piracy and related risks

Benefits of cargo insurance:-

All risk coverage
The all-risk coverage offers wide range of protection against external factors. In general, it covers most types of physical losses and damages as a result of the external causes. This is usually for what’s deemed as “approved” or “general” goods. That means goods that are new and not easily susceptible to losses and damages.

What are excluded?
·       Damage due to negligence
·       Custom rejection
·       Cargo abandonment
·       Loss of market
·       Non payment issues

General average coverage
This coverage is useful for marine cargo transits. It takes only partial loss occurred to the shipment. Under general average, all losses from damages caused during a problem at sea, should be divided among owners of the surviving merchandise. That means as the owner of a cargo that has not suffered damages, will be liable for financial compensation to the owner whose cargo has been damaged or lost.

Artificial Intelligence in Overseas shipping- Freight Solutions


Artificial Intelligence and Automation making revolutions in overseas shipping

Many of the processes in the shipping industry have been in use for years, but new technologies could dramatically change the industry operations and the ways in which it moves goods around the globe.



Do you know which are the busiest months for Ocean Freights? It’s from September to December. In such crowded seasons, the demand for shipping space in containers and the speed at which ship arrives at the port can hit the companies in issues like shipment delays, more expenditures etc.

In a retail world where Amazon and other large retailers offer quick shipping, for free, manufacturers and retailers are at risk of losing money and customers, if deliveries are delayed.

For an industry like cargo shipping that has used some of the same systems for years, artificial intelligence and automation offer an opportunity for revolution. Did you hear that Japanese shipping companies are in the stage of making self-navigating cargo ships.

 How AI works?
We need to know about Machine learning in order to describe this. Machine learning includes four factors

·       Reactive Computers
Reactive computers cannot form memory by their own or learn from past experiences, they merely react to the world based on a pre-programmed set of algorithms. Reactive machines will never get bored, and they will not take an interest. They will just do whatever they’ve been programmed to do, based on set of rules. We can say they are narrow form of AI

·       Short Memory
Limited memory allows the machines to make better decisions by looking to the past in more effective way. For example an auto driven ship will measure the data regarding the speed and headings of other vessels not in single moment, but can log measurements it has taken over time to make assessment in order to establish the closest point of approach.

·       Theory Regarding The Human Mind
 Theory of mind requires machines to be able to create representations of the world which is taken into account for the knowledge, beliefs, emotions, and intentions of others.
If machines will ever behave human-like artificial intelligence, they need to understand the fact that each of us has different thoughts and feelings and may not have the same level of knowledge that they do.

·       Self-Awareness
Self-aware machines are aware of their own existence. To get to self-awareness, we first need a deeper understanding of human memory, learning, and intelligence. Our understanding of human consciousness limits our ability to replicate it with machines.

See what Macciola [chief innovation officer ABBYY] says.

“IoT technologies allow carriers to transmit vital stats, such as temperature, location, and power supply via satellite,” he said. “By having this information sent to the cloud and analyzed at a central office, carriers have real-time information as issues develop that also leads to increased safety for port staff.” This allows processes to be automated, helping to ensure that trucks and freight aren’t damaged en route.

Customs Clearance in Saudi Arabia

WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES DONE DURING THE CUSTOM CLEARANCE IN SAUDI ARABIA?




customs clearance in Saudi Arabia

Every man who has business to do with importing or exporting goods in/out to Saudi Arabia will be thinking about what all the steps we should go through while moving goods in/out to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi customs authority makes it mandatory and allows exporting into Saudi Arabia only when all the SASO standards are met.

If everything is not in order then the clearance will not be provided by the authorities. There have been cases where slight errors have led to rejection by the customs department. It is thus important to follow the rules laid down by the SASO certificate Saudi Arabia strictly.

What is a SASO (Saudi Arabian Standard Organization) Certificate?

For a country like Saudi Arabia, there are thousands of imports and exports that enter and leave the country every day. All these cargo and goods are used to help in the overall economy of the country and get better deals for Saudi exports in global markets.

There are certain norms that need to be fulfilled if one wishes to start exporting their goods to the Middle Eastern country and also import. For this, a certificate of conformity is required to be obtained by the business or service that is in sync with the Saudi Arabian regulations for exporting and importing.

This certificate of conformity for Saudi Arabia comes under the SASO standards and is a particular set of rules and regulations that one needs to follow with regards to the product that they are planning on importing or exporting.

There are authorized inspection groups that ensure that all the goods that are being bought into the country are properly checked and handled. The Saudi Arabian Standard Organization is the one responsible for handing out these certificates and they are the ones who need to be approached in order to get any work done regarding importing and exporting goods into the country.

The steps that's involved during Custom clearance in Saudi Arabia

1. Customs declaration

The customs declaration needs to be registered with the authority along with the permission, relevant documents and all the specified requirements. Failing to do this will lead to the rejection of the Saudi Exports.

2. Inspecting the cargo

The goods are inspected by the authorities and they make it a point to check the details very minutely. The authorities check the goods as per the standards laid down on the SASO certificate and also check if the goods meet all the guidelines. If the cargo does not meet the procedures and if there are any violations then the entire lot gets rejected leading to a huge loss of money. All the goods need to oblige with the SASO standards PDF.

3. Customs value analysis and estimation

The entire cargo is analyzed and the customs value for the whole lot if calculated. This is not the final estimation of the duties since the good proceeds for further clearance through the Saudi customs.

4. Goods classification

In this phase, the cargo is then categorized as per their characteristic. This determines the final fees of the cargo that needs to be paid at the customs.

5. Prohibited goods implementing provisions

In case during the classification stage, some goods fall under the prohibited category as per the COC certificate, the Certification of Conformity is considered as a valid permit for goods to enter the Saudi Arabian marketplace. This can only be issued upon fulfillment of all standards and requirements as specified in the international guides required for obtaining the SASO certification. Then in such circumstances, appropriate provisions are implemented on them by the authority.

6. Applicable duties payment

The next stage in the process is the reassessment of the cargo which is followed by the calculation of final customs duty and fees payable. The payments and charges are applicable in the calculation. The concerned party is then informed about the final payment. He needs to disburse the same to the customs department. The goods are then released by the customs authority of Saudi Arabia.

7. Goods release

This is the final stage. Here the goods are released to the concerned person and the cargo reaches the final destination. The cargo should be accompanied with complete documents and any supporting information. This will make the customs clearance faster.

AIR FREIGHT IN SAUDI ARABIA

Air Freight in Saudi Arabia-Freight solutions



Air cargo service is one of the quick transportation methods with high level of security and reduced risk of damage. We are much strong in Airfreight services with special rates from all main airlines of the sector. We coordinate with our worldwide partners agents to ensure immediate transfer and delivery to the ultimate client. Here we share some useful information to the readers regarding how we minimize the cost of air freight, which is generally a fast and reliable—but expensive—option in order to serve you at minimal cost.
  • ·         We Evaluate lead times and use THE appropriate transport mode. If lead times aren’t tight, we consider using slower transportation methods, such as ocean, which are often less costly than air freight. We make sure that you are not shipping faster than the receiver requires.
  • ·         We rely on data to know where to use air transport in network. Data can help us intentionally design where and when to use air in the supply chain by balancing transportation costs vs. inventory carrying costs to provide the necessary service level.
  • ·          We Improve demand and inventory planning. Improving demand planning, coupled with inventory planning, allows our supply chain managers to position the right level of inventory in the right location at the right time. As a result, they can limit split shipments, inventory transfers, repositioning, and expedited shipments, saving money for our company.
  • ·         We Use visualization models, when applicable. Visualization models can help managers understand the root causes of air costs surpassing the set budget. They can then adjust to bring costs back in line or decide if a permanent transport strategy change needs to be made.
  • ·         Monitor supply chain performance. Freight solutions monitor against supply chain targets and budgets, we are able to see in real time if we are spending more on air costs than originally planned and take corrective action.
  • ·         supply chain performance. As companies monitor against supply chain targets and budgets, they’re able to see in real time if they’re spending more on air costs than originally planned and take corrective action.
  • ·         Minimize customs delays. When products are labeled clearly, packaged properly, and accompanied by the correct paperwork, we avoid fines when shipping products across international borders.
  • ·         Maximize packaging efficiency. Many consumers frequently receive multiple packages for the same order filled with packaging materials. We Evaluate your split shipments; we avoid shipping more packages than you need. Additionally, we use packaging that is easily transferrable from truck or rail to plane, and back,minimizes the breakdown and repacking process.
