THE MARITIME INSURANCE CARGO CLAIMS PLAYBOOK

Product Description:

The Maritime Insurance Cargo Claims Playbook is a 30-page deep dive into marine cargo insurance — policy mechanics, the claims process, and the specific process discipline that determines whether a genuinely covered loss actually gets paid.

What You'll Learn:

- The real coverage differences between Institute Cargo Clauses (A), (B), and (C), and why the wrong clause means an uncovered loss

- The eight-step claims process, starting with never signing a clean receipt over visible damage

- How general average contribution works, and why you may owe it even if your own cargo wasn't damaged

- How to dispute a denied or underpaid claim, starting with the fastest, lowest-cost escalation steps

Key Features:

- A full case study of a successful claim after container water damage, using the guide's own framework

- Custom diagrams: ICC coverage comparison, eight-step claims process, denial-reason breakdown, general average illustration

- A dedicated chapter on insurable value and how under-insurance proportionally reduces your settlement

- Templates: insurer notification letters, claim dispute requests, point-of-delivery damage checklists

Why It Matters:

A striking share of cargo claims are denied not because the loss wasn't covered, but because of an avoidable process failure — a signed clean receipt, a late notification, missing documentation. This guide is built specifically to prevent those failures.

Who It's For:

Exporters, importers, logistics managers, and anyone responsible for marine cargo insurance policies and claims.
