2021年，货物空调备件由“BAI FU”轮自外海装载运至墨西哥城。青岛太保是案涉货物保险人，委托人中远海运集装箱运输有限公司是承运人。货物在墨西哥城陆运过程中被抢劫。青岛太保支付了保险赔款，折合人民币约86万元，向中远海运集装箱运输有限公司索赔并要求支付利息。

中远海运集装箱运输有限公司委托我所杨运福、袁金松律师处理该案，我所律师与对方进行了多轮协商，充分向对方说明和论证了抢劫案件的发生，非承运人的过失，承运人无须承担法律责任，但是可以支付少量赔款作为和解金额，并得到对方的认可。案件达成和解，委托人支付对方约1.6万元。我方成功将和解金额降到对方索赔金额的2%以下，极大程度减少了委托人的损失。达成诉前调解协议，也避免了冗长的诉讼程序。

      In 2021, air-conditioning spare parts were shipped to Mexico City by the MV “BAI FU” from overseas. CPIC Qingdao was the insurer of the goods involved in the case, and COSCO Shipping Lines was the carrier. After the goods were looted during haulage in Mexico, CPIC Qingdao paid an insurance compensation, equivalent to about RMB 860,000 yuan, and claim against COSCO Shipping Lines for compensation plus interest.

       COSCO Shipping Lines entrusted lawyers Colin Y F Yang and Yuan Jinsong of our law firm to handle this case. After rounds of negotiations with the other party, our lawyers have fully explained and demonstrated to the other party that the occurrence of the robbery was not the fault of the carrier, and thus the carrier did not bear any legal liability. Nevertheless, it may pay a small amount of compensation as a settlement, which was agreed by the other party. The case was settled with a settlement amount of RMB 16,000 yuan. We have successfully reduced the settlement amount to less than 2% of that claimed amount, greatly reducing the loss of the client. A pre-litigation mediation agreement was reached, and lengthy legal proceedings was avoided.
