Comprehensive solutions to your P&I insurance claims

Our P&I advisory team works on claims across all kinds of vessels, from small pleasure craft to commercial superyachts. We can also work with you on other kinds of marine structures and assets, such as docks, cranes and port infrastructure.

We utilise decades of marine surveying and P&I insurance experience to provide expert advice in the following areas:

  • Conditions surveys – a state of fact to report the operational condition of a particular vessel 
  • Essential information report rapidly deployed to the claims’ handler, enabling immediate action on their part
  • Detailed investigation of the incident once the situation is stabilised 
  • Surveys to record damage and estimate repair costs
  • Inspections and monitoring of vessel repairs 
  • Third-party information and data analysis as part of the marine casualty investigation process, including VDR (voyage data recorders), AIS (automatic identification systems), ECDIS (electronic chart display and information system), and VTS (vessel traffic services)
  • Marine casualty investigation and expert analysis with MADAS Pro (Marine Accident Investigation Suit)
