Our approach is proactive and hands-on.
We offer the following services:
- Provision of continuous guidance to our Principals throughout the process of Casualty Management, extending our services beyond recording and simply reporting the physical damage.
- Proactive involvement in the tendering and repair process as well as effective engagement in negotiations and settlement of the repair costs as a result of our deep knowledge of shipyards’ practices and costing in the regions we operate.
- Elaboration of detailed specifications of damage repairs, both on hull and machinery major casualties, on which we have a particular expertise as well as a continuously updated data base, thus providing a substantial competitive advantage in the subject.
- Implementation of “root cause analysis” for major machinery failures in order to establish the insurable peril and prevent re-occurrence. A thorough and in-depth investigation into the relevant ISM/PMS records is also applied.
- Active involvement in the process of crew interviews, jointly with appointed Solicitors during major fire, collision and total loss investigations.
