Independent marine casualty investigations, claims assessments, root cause analysis, and technical support for shipowners, insurers, P&I Clubs, attorneys, and charterers
Damage Assessment & Investigation
Our services support the investigation of vessel collisions, allisions, groundings, machinery failures, cargo damage, marine pollution incidents, fires, explosions, and operational casualties. Through root cause analysis, evidence review, liability assessment, and technical reporting, we help clients resolve maritime claims, support insurance recoveries, reduce losses, and strengthen future risk management.
Hull & Machinery (H&M) Damage Investigations
Our Hull & Machinery (H&M) investigations cover damage involving marine diesel engines, steam turbines, gas turbines, propulsion systems, auxiliary machinery, bunker contamination, lubrication failures, structural damage, newbuilding disputes, repair projects, drydock incidents, hull surveys, tank inspections, cargo hold assessments, steelwork defects, and welding failures. We provide technical assessments, damage causation analysis, repair specifications, contractor oversight, and expert support throughout the claims and recovery process.
Following investigation completion, findings are presented in a detailed technical report outlining the cause of loss, contributing factors, extent of damage, repair recommendations, cost considerations, and practical guidance to support claims resolution, litigation, arbitration, and future loss prevention.

We conduct independent cargo damage investigations involving a wide range of cargoes, including petroleum products, chemicals, liquefied gases, edible oils, ores, coal, grain, fertilizers, steel products, containers, break-bulk cargoes, Ro-Ro cargoes, refrigerated cargoes, and bagged commodities.
