Damage Investigation & Claims Support
When cargo damage occurs, time is critical. Our surveyors attend promptly to investigate the cause, nature, and extent of loss, preserving evidence and documenting findings before the cargo is moved, repaired, or disposed of. Early attendance is essential for accurate assessment and defensible reporting.
Our claim survey reports are factual, detailed, and prepared to the standard expected by marine insurers, P&I clubs, and legal counsel. Each report includes photographic evidence, relevant documentation, causal analysis, and a clear quantification of the loss — giving you a solid foundation for claims negotiation, subrogation, or litigation.
As an independent survey firm with no ties to any carrier, trader, or insurer, our findings are free from conflicts of interest. Whether you represent the cargo owner, the underwriter, or the vessel operator, you can rely on our assessments to reflect the facts accurately and impartially.
