From Piper Alpha, the ‘SEA EMPRESS’, and ‘HYUNDAI FORTUNE’ to the 2004 Tsunami and hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, we have been involved in all the major disasters. Work on these high-profile casualties and many others means that we have long been one of the foremost names in the field. When the beaching of the Napoli hit the news, we were already instructed to act for a number of cargo insurers.
Whether acting for:
- Shipowners
- Insurers
- Cargo-owners
- Salvors
We have a deep well of international experience to draw upon. “Still seen…as the leading light in…insurance and related casualty matters” we are one of the leading firms involved in Lloyd’s Open Form Salvage Arbitrations dealt with in London each year.
Our emergency response team is contactable 24/7 through our dedicated hotline. And a handful of highly experienced master mariners augment our experience of casualty, emergency and crisis management. From North and South America through Europe and the Middle East to East Asia, they are on call day and night to investigate any marine casualty. We always ensure that the actions of our emergency response team tie in with the client’s own emergency response team or crisis management organisation.
The role of the marine investigator is to help ensure all the evidential issues are anticipated, contradictions and inconsistencies are identified, and the evidence tested so far as possible before reliance is placed upon it.
