Expert evidence for cargo damage, contamination, shortage and stowage disputes, linking survey findings to the financial loss.
The key question in most cargo claims is when the damage happened and why. Our surveyors and master mariners review hatch cover tests, ventilation records, stowage plans and weather data, and compare the cargo's condition at loading with the outturn survey at discharge.
Financial experts then value the loss using sound market and salvage values, reconditioning costs and any extra handling or storage. We also check whether limitation of liability under the Hague-Visby Rules or the contract affects the amount that can be recovered.
