The claim process for marine insurance is similar to that done for any other type of insurance. Following are some of the basic steps to make a claim in case of marine insurance.

• You must either contact the claim representative or the nearest branch of your insurance provider and intimate them about the claim.
• In the event that the damage has occurred to the goods while they are on the ship or port, you must arrange for a port or a joint ship survey.
• You must submit the policy document / certificate which had previously been issued to you at the time of taking the policy. You also need to provide the original invoice and any other documents which may be required to authenticate your claim.
