Marine Cargo Insurance Claims Adjudication Platform

The Claims Adjudication Challenge in Marine Cargo Insurance

Ocean cargo, inland marine, and trade finance protection for goods in transit. At the Claims Adjudication stage, operations teams face a specific set of document management and workflow challenges that generic insurance platforms fail to address adequately.

Claims teams manage complex document sets — inspections, invoices, police reports, medical records — across email, portals, and shared drives, creating delays and compliance risk.

Document Types in Marine Cargo Claims Adjudication

The claims adjudication workflow for Marine Cargo involves a specific set of document types, each with its own extraction requirements and routing logic:

• Bill of lading — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication
• Commercial invoice — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication
• Packing list — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication
• Certificate of origin — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication
• Marine survey report — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication
• Bordereaux — critical evidence document, extracted and linked to the claim file for adjudication

Regulatory and Compliance Context

Marine Cargo claims adjudication must satisfy the requirements of Lloyd's Market Association, IMO, UNCTAD, MIA 1906, including FCA Consumer Duty evidence requirements. EU DORA and the EU AI Act add mandatory audit logging requirements for automated decisions in this workflow. SAMA and CBUAE frameworks set data governance standards applicable to this process.

Every decision made during claims adjudication — acceptance, referral, postponement, or rejection — must be documented with sufficient evidence to withstand regulatory scrutiny. Automated decisions made using AI must be explainable and auditable under evolving global AI governance frameworks.

Operations teams that automate claims adjudication workflows gain a competitive advantage through faster turnaround, lower unit cost, and better data quality for downstream processes.
