Transportation and Shipment
Text A
International Cargo Transportation In foreign business transaction, the exporter and the importer are usually from different countries and the goods under the contract have to go a long distance and sometimes change several carriers in transit before they reach the importer. For this reason, transportation is of great importance in the fulfillment of the contract. It helps the seller to deliver the goods to the buyer abroad. In practice, there are several different modes of transportation, which differ in terms of operating capacity, speed and cost. The major modes are ocean transport (also called sea

goods were short-weighted. The total short weight is 1,000 kilos which amounts to a loss of US $950. Lin: How could that be? Did you consult the shipping company for an explanation? It must be their responsibility because of their rough handling in loading and unloading the goods.

Unit 7 InsuranceRelated InformationThe Basics of Cargo Coverage1. “ALL RISK”coverageThe broadest form of coverage is “ALL RISK”, which, as a misleading name for an insurance policy, provides wide cover but does contain a number of exclusions. The term “All Risks”should not be taken too literally and in some jurisdictions the term is no longer used.An “ALL RISK”policy insures approved general merchandise in the event of physical loss or damage from any external cause. This includes new packaged goods without unusual susceptibility to loss from breakage, pilferage, or the nature of the goods themselves. “ALL RISK”policies do not cover all losses possible in the course of an international shipment.2. General AverageIn order to save a ship in peril of sinking during a storm, some of the cargo may have to be thrown overboard. The ship owner and the owners of the saved cargo obviously benefit at the expense of the owners of the jettisoned cargo. This was deemed unfair and the principle of “General Average” evolved so that all parties would contribute in such a situation.3. (With) Particular Average (WPA)In ocean marine insurance, Particular Average refers to a loss either partial or total, which falls on one or more property or interest being shipped, as opposed to a general average.4. Free of Particular Average (FPA)This is an ocean marine policy provision where coverage is provided only if a total loss of the insured property occurs from an insured peril.FPA (American clause) is limited coverage that usually applies to used merchandise, waste materials and goods shipped subject to an on deck bill of lading. It covers partial and total losses due to FPA perils, which include the sinking, stranding, burning or collision of the vessels or catastrophic perils on shore such as earthquake, derailment, collapse of dock, fire, etc.5. WAR RISKSpecial coverage on cargo in overseas ships against the risk of being confiscated by a government in wartime. It is excluded from standard ocean marine insurance and can be purchased separately.6. Inherent ViceCertain goods are, by their very nature, susceptible to damage and it would beunreasonable to expect insurers to pay for such damage. Examples of Inherent Vice are deterioration of Perishable Goods, spontaneous fermentation or combustion of improperly dried grain.7. WAREHOUSE TO WAREHOUSE protectionMost cargo insurance protects goods in transit from the time they leave the shipper’s warehouse until they reach the consignee’s warehouse, as long as they are not taken out of the normal course of transit by the insured.Lead-in1. Listening1. D2. BTape Script:Tim is talking to Judd about the insurance of a product order.Tim: Good morning, this is Tim. Is that Judd?Judd: Yes, this is Judd speaking.Tim: I’m calling to discuss the insurance coverage you requested for your order.Judd: Good, we requested an amount thirty percent above the invoice value.Tim: We have no problem complying with your request, but we think that the amount is a bit excessive. You know according to our usual practice，we insure the goods only for 10% above the invoice value.Judd: Yeah, but in the past, we’ve really been put in a bind because of damaged goods. Tim: I understand your concern. However, usual coverage for goods of this type is the total invoice amount plus only ten percent.Judd: We could feel more comfortable, though, with thirty percent.Tim: Unfortunately, if you want the increase in coverage, the extra premium will be for your account.Judd: But shouldn’t your quotation include adequate coverage against risks?Tim: That quotation involved normal coverage, but not all. So I suggest you contact your insurance agent there and compare rates.Judd: OK. Thanks. I’ll check it out.2. Spot DictationPart 1 1. T 2. T 3. F 4.

《世纪商务英语》翻译讲义AdvertisementsUnit 7 Advertisements1.Adverting is a way of bringing information to the public for the purpose of selling a product, a service, an idea, or an event. The information is transmitted by means of the printed word or even the air. It may be presented as a simple statement of fact, or, as is more frequently the case, it may be offered in colorful or even emotional language. All advertising is intended to stimulate people to do some specific thing, such as buying a product, ordering a service, joining an organization, attending a meeting, or thinking sympathetically about a situation. Each advertising is paid for by a person, a group, an organization, or a business enterprise seeking to advance his or its goals.Consumer advertising can be directed to different parts of a market. For example, producers advertise through magazines and radio and television programs that appeal to the portion of the market they wish to reach. A cereal manufacturer would schedule commercials for television cartoon shows in order to make children aware of a product. A tire maker would use air ads during sporting events to appeal to the adult male audience.Trade advertising is aimed at middlemen of all kinds. Trade ads try to persuade wholesalers and retailers to stock specific goods. Industrial advertising is directed to producers of manufactured goods. Agricultural advertising goes to the agricultural producers. Professional advertising is aimed at people such as doctors, teachers and architects, who recommend products but do not purchase them directly./doc/a6dbcee8dd3383c4bb4cd2fa.html nguage features(1)Verbs, adjs, pronouns, coinageNestle Ice Cream: Take time to indulge!

Its advantages lie in the fact that the owner can keep all the profits, has freedom in business operations and keeps them in secrecy. The owner can also derive personal satisfaction if the business is successful. On the other side, a sole proprietorship has limitations in terms of the size and the life of the business, and the owner must assume unlimited liability for all obligations.
