Common Issues

Understanding the full terms and conditions on which your Marine Cargo Policy has been incepted in the event of a loss is essential. It is also necessary to determine whether claims relate to loss or damage in transit or after the cargo has been landed and is being moved to its final destination or subsequent storage.  Disputes can often relate to:

  • Misunderstanding of Institute Cargo Clauses and any other specialist clauses that will be identified on the schedule or policy documents
  • Establishing any timescales that are imposed on both the transit post arrival and notifications of any loss once discovered to both insurers and carriers
  • Restrictions of payments of claims against the Standard Conditions of Carriage for any party handling the consignment

 

Our Expertise

We have an experienced team of Loss Assessors who understand the complexities of Marine Transit insurance. With Marine Transit insurance claims it is essential to appoint us as early as you can so we can ensure that none of the post loss policy requirements, notification timescales or actions are missed.

Why Appoint Us

It is not simply employing loss assessors to work on Marine Transit claims, it is making loss assessors with experience of quantifying and negotiating Marine Transit claims available to policyholders that makes the real difference.

It’s easy to get confused between Loss Assessors and Loss Adjusters.

Loss Assessors are appointed by individuals and businesses to negotiate settlement of a claim with your insurers.

Loss Adjusters are appointed by your insurers to assess the validity and size of your claim based on the policy terms and conditions.
