Cargo Recovery

In the world of insurance, subrogation is a fundamental principle that enables insurers to recover losses from third parties responsible for the damage.

At IMLARCO, we recognize that cargo recovery begins the moment a loss is reported. The earlier the recovery process is initiated, the higher the chances of success. Information gathered during the initial inspection and investigation—immediately following the loss—can significantly influence the outcome by preserving critical evidence before the "trail goes cold."
Our approach aligns with the Lloyd’s Standard Form of Survey Report, guiding our surveyors to collect essential data that supports any subsequent recovery action. This includes documenting the claimant’s efforts to hold the carrier or third party liable.
Our surveyors and adjusters are thoroughly trained to safeguard all insurers' rights under Section 78 of the Marine Insurance Act (MIA) and the Duty of the Assured clause in both cargo and hull policies.
