Ship Casualty investigations
Our surveyors have extensive experience dealing with any kind of casualty, incident.
Ship accident surveys are carried out under the appointment of ships underwriters, P&I clubs, insurers, or the vessels owner. In all cases we endeavour to establish the cause of any given incident aboard affecting the crew hull and machinery, or damage sustained by third party vessel operators.
