cargo loss and damage assessment

Cargo loss and damage assessment refers to the evaluation process used to determine the extent of damage or loss of goods during transportation. When items are shipped, they may be impacted by various factors like accidents, mishandling, or environmental conditions. Assessors inspect the cargo, document any damages, and estimate financial losses. This assessment is crucial for determining insurance claims and ensuring responsible parties can be held accountable. Ultimately, it helps protect the interests of shippers, insurers, and customers by providing clarity on the condition and value of the cargo involved.
