LLOYD'S SPECIE UNDERWRITING

Conveyance Insurance Limits

Standard commercial freight cargo policies cap payouts at $100k-$500k. Precious metals require specialized Specie Cargo Insurance underwritten through Lloyd's syndicates, providing all-risk physical loss or damage coverage up to $100M+ per single transport conveyance.

ARMED ESCORT MULTIPLIER

Tiered Convoy Security

Underwriters mandate tiered security protocols: loads exceeding $10M require dual armed in-cab operators; loads exceeding $25M mandate a trailing armed chase car; shipments exceeding $50M require lead and rear armed scout vehicles with law enforcement coordination.

WEIGHT VS DENSITY PAYLOAD

Massive Weight in Small Space

Gold (density 19.3 g/cm³) reaches legal axle weight limits in extremely small cubic volumes. A standard 400 oz Good Delivery gold bar weighs ~27.4 lbs; 1,000 bars weigh 27,400 lbs but occupy less than 22 cubic feet, demanding center-of-gravity load securement.
