Marine Cargo Claims

Marine cargo claims refer to the claims made when goods transported by sea are damaged, lost, or delayed during transit. The claimant, usually the cargo owner or insurer, must notify the carrier or shipping line of the loss or damage and provide supporting documents. The carrier investigates the claim, evaluates liability, and may offer a settlement. If an agreement is reached, the claim is resolved, but if not, alternative dispute resolution methods or legal action may be pursued.

Marine cargo claims involve the process of notifying the carrier about the loss or damage, providing evidence, investigating the claim, evaluating liability, and reaching a settlement. The specific steps and regulations can vary, and parties may seek legal assistance. The aim is to ensure fair compensation for the losses suffered during the transportation of goods by sea.
