Our company, founded by Marilyn Gursha, in Long Beach California in 1982 as The Missing Link and incorporated under the name Marine Cargo Claims, Inc. in 2008, has a long history of handling ocean marine salvage cargo. Purchasing damage and abandoned cargo has always been our bailiwick.

We also offer certified destruction of cargo, specializing in refrigerated food and dry goods.

Food goods are diverted from landfill and given a second life as animal feed or compost. It has been our premise to operate in an environmentally-friendly way to reduce waste and contamination.

Complete confidentiality and optimum service is offered to all our customers when we respond to your casualty in a cost-effective manner. To reduce your claim, we always attempt to give you the best monetary return on cargo of all kinds. We have strong markets in the Americas for salvage and abandoned cargo and can move in a timely and efficient manner. In a challenging industry, finding secondary markets for salvage cargo takes creativity, agility and innovation.

The environment is an integral part of our values and concerns. That is why we aim to carry out our activities while respecting our surroundings and always seeking out better sustainable practices that apply to our operations.

Before it became popular, we were taking lasting actions to reduce our environmental footprint and commit to this approach daily.
