2、由于运输工具遭受搁浅、触礁、沉没、互撞、与流冰或其他物体碰撞以及失火、爆炸意外事故造成货物的全部或部分损失。
3、在运输工具已经发生搁浅、触礁、沉没、焚毁意外事故的情况下，货物在此前后又在海上遭受恶劣气候、雷电、海啸等自然灾害所造成的部分损失。
4、在装卸或转运时由于一件或数件整件货物落海造成的全部或部分损失。
5、被保险人对遭受承保责任内危险的货物采取抢救、防止或减少货损的措施而支付的合理费用，但以不超过该批被救货物的保险金额为限。

2、被保险货物如在上述六十天期限内继续运往保险单所载原目的地或其他目的地时，保险责任仍按上述第(一)款的规定终止。
四、被保险人的义务
被保险人应按照以下规定的应尽义务办理有关事项。
(一)当被保险货物运抵保险单所载明的目的港(地)以后，被保险人应及时提货，当发现被保险货物遭受任何损失，应即向保险单上所载明的检验、理赔代理人申请检验，如发现被保险货物整件短少或有明显残损痕迹应即向承运人、受托人或有关当局(海关、港务当局等)索取货损货差证明。如果货损货差是由于承运人、受托人或其他有关方面的责任所造成，并应以书面方式向他们提出索赔，必要时还须取得延长时效的认证。如未履行上述规定义务，保险人对有关损失不负责赔偿责任。
(二)对遭受承保责任内危险的货物，被保险人和保险人都可迅速采取合理的抢救措施，防止或减少货物的损失，被保险人采取此项措施，不应视为放弃委付的表示，保险人采取此项措施，也不得视为接受委付的表示。
对由于被保险人未履行上述义务造成的扩大的损失，保险人不负赔偿责任。
(三)如遇航程变更或发现保险单所载明的货物、船名或航程有遗漏或错误时，被保险人应在获悉后立即通知保险人并在必要时加交保险费，本保险才继续有效。
(四)在向保险人索赔时，必须提供下列单证：保险单正本、提单、发票、装箱单、磅码单、货损货差证明、检验报告及索赔清单。如涉及第三者责任，还须提供向责任方追偿的有关函电及其他必要单证或文件。

(五)在获悉有关运输契约中“船舶互撞责任”条款的实际责任后，应及时通知保险人。否则，保险人对有关损失不负赔偿责任。
五、赔偿处理
保险人收到被保险人的赔偿请求后，应当及时就是否属于保险责任作出核定，并将核定结果通知被保险人。情况复杂的，保险人在收到被保险人的赔偿请求并提供理赔所需资料后三十日内未能核定保险责任的，保险人与被保险人根据实际情形商议合理期间，保险人在商定的期间内作出核定结果并通知被保险人。对属于保险责任的，在与被保险人达成有关赔偿金额的协议后十日内，履行赔偿义务。
