The solution can be utilised for insurance application,
quotation, policy or certificate of insurance endorsement issuance and
for premium payment.
The e-Cargo Insurance was among others, aimed at increasing efficiency
and effectiveness of the processing cycle and improve data analysis and
decisionmaking, says Chong Wai Hong.
A joint partnership with DagangNet Technologies Sdn Bhd, the solution
is targeted towards importers, exporters, manufacturers, transportation
and logistics providers, agents, insurance brokers and financial institutions.
Utilising single connectivity and providing multiple access to various
relevant agencies, the portal showcases Internet based real time mechanisms
with the highest degree of security and reliability.
The portal is now ready for use at Phase one, whereby individual shipment
for marine cargo application, quotation, marine cargo schedule and policy
and issuance of endorsements can be carried out.
Phase two of the portal, comprises marine open cover (MOC) policy and
certificates application, would be available for use by end of the year.
This would be followed by online payment services.
Where the conventional way of obtaining cover could take more than two
months, this portal enables one to shorten the time to half a day.
DagangNet chief executive officer Saifol Bahri Mohd Shamlan said the
e-Cargo Insurance was part of DagangNet's Internet web portal - My Ports
- which pulls together all the essential services to enhance the performance
of trade facilitation electronically.
“We believe e-Cargo Insurance is a vital ingredient in satisfying
the increasing demands of the highly competitive trade and logistics industry.
“Our strategic alliance with Than Insurance cements our mutual
trust and joint commitment in technological and service excellence,''
he said.
