Organization & Coordination

MCA has its headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana (MCA NO) and was founded in 1996. The City of New Orleans enjoys a historic relationship with Latin America due to their geographic proximity. A significant amount of tonnage to and from Latin America originates from or is destined for the Ports of New Orleans or the Gulf Region.

While the vast majority of claims are handled on a local level in the country where the incident arises, MCA NO is available to provide additional assistance on more complex claims. It also provides overall supervision and administrative oversight. As overhead, these services are not billed to our clients.

All our non-lawyer correspondents receive extensive training by MCA NO on claims handling procedures which are implemented and overseen by our headquarters.

 

The MCA LinkNetwork uses unified forms throughout Latin America to report to our clients; and for billings, MCA NO has been authorized by most Clubs to use the electronic system, Feesable.
