To pay as cargo

A buyer with an interest in cargo that is in transit may arrange a policy supplementary to the cargo insurance. This will be worded to pay as cargo’ for an increased value as the amount under the cargo policy may be inadequate to protect the buyer’s interest. The phrase means that the supplementary policy will contribute pro rata to any claim paid by the primary insurer. See INCREASED VALUE.
