Cargo Recovery

RECOVERY STARTS SO EARLY
In the world of insurance, subrogation is a fundamental principle that ensures an insurer
can recover losses from a third party responsible for the damage. At IMLARCO, we
understand that cargo recovery starts the moment a loss is reported. The earlier the
recovery process begins, the greater the chances of success. Information gathered during
the initial inspection and investigation—right after the loss—can significantly impact the
outcome, ensuring that valuable evidence is preserved before the "trail goes cold."
Our approach aligns with the Lloyd’s Standard Form of Survey Report, prompting our
surveyors to collect critical data useful for any subsequent recovery action. This includes
documenting the steps taken by the claimant to hold the carrier or third party liable. Our
surveyors and adjusters are trained to ensure that all insurers' rights are protected under
Section 78 of the Marine Insurance Act (MIA) and the Duty of the Assured clause in both
cargo and hull policies.
