MARINE INSURANCE CLAIMS IN QUEENSLAND & AUSTRALIA

Marine insurance claim surveys are necessary when a vessel suffers damage or loss as a result of an accident on the seas or while dry docked. Companies or individuals that are running commercial operations with ships will need to have the appropriate insurance, which is also the case for any individual or business that is running a boat on the seas.

A marine insurance claim survey is necessary to determine the cause of damage, nature of damage and extent of the damage. Queensland Ship Surveyors are experienced and reliable providers of these insurance claim surveys.

When hired by insurance companies, businesses or individuals, we can assess hull damage, machinery and equipment damage, cargo damage and other damage to the vessel or anything else that was on board. Any insurance company that is responding to a claim will hire a surveyor to assess the damage to the vessel. If instructed to do so we can also conduct estimation of the cost of repairs in relation to the claim.

We have experience in assessing insurance claim damages caused by, but not limited to groundings, storm damage, collision damage, machinery damage and/or through negligence etc. Our damage reports are job specific surveys that will assess the extent of damage to a vessel, along with providing details on the probable cause of that damage. We also make recommendations about repairs to the vessel before it is ready for another voyage. If you require an insurance claim assessment, contact Queensland Ship Surveyors for assistance today.
