2011年跟單員考試輔導(dǎo):保險(xiǎn)常用的對話
Dialogue 1
A: Good afternoon, Mr. Brown. My appointment was at 4 o’clock, wasn’t it?
B: Yes, Mrs. Wang. We have been expecting you. Mrs. Wang, this is Mr. Jordan of the People’s Insurance Company of China. He has come to explain the unfortunate affair about the insurance.
A: Thank you for coming. Mr. Brown, as you may recall, the
February consignment arrived at Manila seriously damaged. The loss through breakage was over 30% of the consignment. We’ve presented a claim to the underwriters through your firm, but the insurance company refused to admit liability, as there was no insurance on breakage. We naturally were not satisfied with such a reply.
B: I should like to hear what Mr. Jordan has to say about it. You know of course that we, the sellers, are merely acting as mediators in this matter. The Insurance Company is responsible for the claim, as far as it is within the scope of coverage.
J: That’s just the point. The loss in question was beyond the
coverage granted by us. According to your instructions, we made out an insurance certificate covering W.P.A. and the risk of break- age wasn’t mentioned in it. We rang up the Ceramics Section of Light Industrial Products Import & Export Corporation, but were told that their customer had not asked for coverage in case of breakage.
-- 下午好,布朗先生。我們約好四點(diǎn)鐘見面,是不是?
-- 是的,王小姐。我們一直在等你。王小姐,這位是中國人民保險(xiǎn)公司的喬丹先生。他是來解釋這次不幸事件的保險(xiǎn)問題的。
-- 謝謝你來。布朗先生,你也許記得,二月份發(fā)運(yùn)到馬尼拉的那批貨物破碎嚴(yán)重。破碎損失超過這批貨物的百分之三十。我們已通過你們公司向保險(xiǎn)公司提出了索賠,但保險(xiǎn)公司以沒投保破碎險(xiǎn)為由,拒絕承擔(dān)責(zé)任。我們當(dāng)然對這種回答不滿意。
-- 我想聽聽喬丹先生對此有什么看法。當(dāng)然,你是知道的,我們賣方對這種事只是個(gè)調(diào)解人。只要在保險(xiǎn)責(zé)任范圍內(nèi),保險(xiǎn)公司就應(yīng)負(fù)賠償責(zé)任。
-- 問題就在這里。你說的損失并不包括在我們承保的責(zé)任范圍之內(nèi)。根據(jù)你們的要求,我們出具了投保水漬險(xiǎn)的保險(xiǎn)憑證,但沒提及到破碎險(xiǎn)。我們曾打電話給輕工業(yè)品公司陶瓷品部,但他們說,客戶并未要求投保破碎險(xiǎn)。
B: In the letter of credit only coverage for all marine risks?was requested. I should like to point out that our prices were calcu- lated without insurance for any special risk. So we applied for the usual W.P.A. coverage and let our customers deal with the matter of breakage. Since the validity of the letter of credit was going to expire in two days, there was no time to write for more detailed instructions. If the L/C had been valid for a longer period, we should have had time to make the matter thoroughly clear.
A: Mr. Brown, our import license only ran up to the middle of February, consequently we were not able to extend the validity of the letter of credit. But we presume that the wording of our L/C implies covering the risk of breakage. Besides, when I take a W.P. A. insurance, that is, with particular average, I should think the risk of breakage is a par ticular average, isn’t it?
J: Not every breakage is a particular average. It is a particular aver- age when the breakage results from natural ca lam i ties or mar i time accidents, such as stranding and sinking of the car ry ing vessel, or is attributable to fire, explosion or collision. If none of these conditions occur, break age is often considered as an or di nary loss and rep re sents what we call ?inherent vice or nature of the subject matter insured? which is outside the scope of the coverage.
