This is a case of confusion. Either of the party can be at fault.

The insurance companies must conduct proper investigations for any case. Before making the payment i.e. honouring the claims the companies should make it double sure that the claiming party is totally genuine while making the claim.

In this case, if the claiming party has made the claim without any intentions of cheating the firm then the company will not be liable to pay the insurance firm in any case. It is because the insurer failed to perform its obligation of cross verifying the capture of the ship.

Only in a situation where the claiming party has made the claim with an intent to cheat the insurer, then the insurance company can claim the amount paid to the claiming party. But this has to be proved by the insurance company.
