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.
