Institute Cargo Clauses C (ICC C)

ICC C sits at the bottom of the Institute Cargo Clauses coverage spectrum, insuring only against specifically listed perils rather than offering the broad 'All Risks' protection of ICC A.

Quick Answer

ICC C sits at the bottom of the Institute Cargo Clauses coverage spectrum, insuring only against specifically listed perils rather than offering the broad 'All Risks' protection of ICC A.

Covered events include fire, stranding, sinking, collision, and jettison; excluded are theft, moisture damage, condensation, and losses arising from inadequate packing.

The clause is commonly applied to sturdy bulk commodities – grain, coal, ore – moving on established trade lanes where the named perils rarely materialise.

Definition & Explanation

ICC C sits at the bottom of the Institute Cargo Clauses coverage spectrum, insuring only against specifically listed perils rather than offering the broad 'All Risks' protection of ICC A. Covered events include fire, stranding, sinking, collision, and jettison; excluded are theft, moisture damage, condensation, and losses arising from inadequate packing. The clause is commonly applied to sturdy bulk commodities – grain, coal, ore – moving on established trade lanes where the named perils rarely materialise. Lower premiums come at the cost of significant coverage gaps, so shippers choosing ICC C should have a clear understanding of what risks remain uninsured. ICC B offers an intermediate level of protection between ICC C and ICC A.
