This document discusses various clauses in cargo insurance policies and how they apply in different situations: 1) Strikes exclusion clauses and war exclusion clauses exclude losses caused by labor disputes, riots, civil unrest, and acts of war. 2) Cargo insurance typically attaches when goods leave storage and terminates on delivery, but may continue if transit is terminated before final delivery. 3) Clauses can be added to provide coverage for delays or changes in voyage beyond the assured's control, but standard policies may not always apply in high-risk locations. 4) When considering unusual cargo insurance situations or policies, it is best to thoroughly discuss all potential issues and conditions with experienced underwriters.
