Ensuring accurate and timely damage assessments is essential in marine insurance and claims recovery to minimise your losses and maximizing recoveries. We provide expert survey coordination, managing the entire process from appointment to final reporting.

Our survey network

In many cases, rapid intervention can save you substantial amounts of money by preventing further damage and facilitating the recovery of goods. Our independent survey network delivers reliable evaluations, supporting insurers, shipowners, and cargo operators in claims resolution and risk mitigation.

Coordinating Marine Surveys

Coordinating marine and cargo surveys requires precision and efficiency. We manage surveyor selection, documentation, and reporting to ensure compliance with industry standards. Our team oversees every stage of the process, guaranteeing that survey findings are clear, objective, and enforceable in claims recovery.

Survey accuracy is critical for determining liability and assessing damages. We work with specialized surveyors who provide in-depth technical evaluations, helping clients make informed decisions on claim settlements and recovery strategies.

Hull & Machinery Damage Assessments

Marine casualties and structural failures require expert evaluation. We coordinate independent surveys to assess vessel damage, determine repair feasibility, and support insurers in claim validation.

Our process includes damage inspections, forensic analysis of mechanical failures, and verification of compliance with international safety and operational standards. By ensuring fast and precise assessments, we help minimize downtime and optimize claims processing.

Cargo Damage & Loss Inspections

Cargo claims often involve multiple parties, making precise assessments essential. We arrange inspections for cargo losses, contamination, and transport-related damages, ensuring that all relevant factors are considered in liability determination.

Our network of cargo surveyors evaluates storage conditions, handling procedures, and packaging integrity. This approach provides insurers with the necessary data to support claims, negotiate settlements, and enforce recovery actions.

Pre-Shipment & Loading Supervision

Preventing cargo disputes starts before departure. We provide pre-shipment inspections and loading supervision to ensure cargo condition, proper stowage, and compliance with shipping regulations.

Our specialists oversee loading operations, verify documentation, and assess container conditions to minimize the risk of damage in transit. These preventive measures reduce claim frequency and improve supply chain reliability.
