Abstract

Zadatak špeditera je dopremanje robe do krajnje destinacije u ispravnom stanju i u određenom vremenskom roku, a kako bi se zaštitili od gubitka ili oštećenja robe tijekom transporta, nalogodavatelji često traže upravo uslugu transportnog osiguranja robe. Poslove u svezi s transportnim osiguranjem robe u pravilu prepuštaju špediteru budući da se špediter primarno bavi organizacijom prijevoza pa su mu dobro poznati rizici kojima je roba tijekom prijevoza izložena, kao i sama tehnika sklapanja ugovora o osiguranju i postupka likvidacije štete. U radu je analizirana problematika transportnog osiguranja robe i prikazan praktični primjer poslova špeditera u svezi transportnog osiguranja robe.The task of the freight forwarder is delivering the goods to the final destination at the right time and in the proper condition.
