Services:

Hull and Machinery Claims

We work with both assureds and insurers to quickly resolve hull and machinery claims. Whether we are completing a full adjustment or offering independent opinions, we promote fair resolutions and identify potential issues early to protect the relationship of the stakeholders. We also work closely with insurance brokers to help them provide the best possible claims experience for their clients.

General Average / Salvage Claims

In a general average (GA) claim where parties involved in the common maritime adventures share voluntary sacrifice or expenditures, our average adjusters guide the parties involved and manage the whole process of the GA claim from declaration of GA, obtaining securities, preparing adjustments, collecting contributions and managing distributions, aiming to move the claim forward and settle it swiftly and accurately.

We offer similar services for salvage situations, which often run in tandem or eventually as part of the GA claim, with expertise in the aftermath of marine incidents – from bridging salvage resources, obtaining securities to providing timely and professional advice on complex salvage.

Collision liability claims and recoveries

We’re here to support clients during and in the aftermath of marine incidents – from the immediate aftermath of collisions or other incident, to calculating and stating the division of collision liability and dealing with recovery distributions. Our team calculates values, manages payments and ensures recovery funds are distributed fairly and properly.

Multi-bills of lading security collection

For large containerships or car carriers where cargoes are shipped under hundreds or many thousands of bills of lading, we have the expertise and resources to collect GA or salvage securities quickly and efficiently. This helps parties maintain their lien rights and keep cargo moving.

and liability claims that have arisen as a result.
