Quantify the exit.

Underwriters need a realistic view of what a damaged cargo will actually realise, in its actual condition, in its actual location.

Focus

What matters in these cases

  • 01

    Realistic salvage value

  • 02

    Alternative markets

  • 03

    Removal and reprocessing cost

  • 04

    Compliant disposal cost

  • 05

    Subrogation-relevant documentation

Value follows evidence

Buyers price on survey findings, laboratory analysis and location — not on the original invoice value. A structured evidence package produces a tighter range of offers and a defensible settlement figure.

Recovery against disposal

A low sale price frequently beats disposal, because disposal is a cost rather than a reduced revenue. Both routes should be costed in full, including transport, gate fees and documentation.

Regulatory boundaries

Any food or feed application requires appropriate laboratory analysis and regulatory approval in the relevant jurisdiction. A recovery route that is not lawful is not a recovery route.
