Surveyor Appointment
One
of our first tasks is to appoint surveyors - be it to ascertain the extent and
cause of cargo or hull damage, investigate collision or pollution accident, survey / tally
during cargo loading or unloading operations or provide P&I, H&M, on/off hire condition survey reports, etc.
Our team appoints the best-qualified surveyor for the intervention with which
it has been entrusted, ensures that he is fully cognizant with all aspects of
the matter in hand and advises him of the specific points which will maximize
the defense of our customer’s interests. The evidence provided by our surveyors
optimizes the negotiating power of our claim’s handlers should a claim arise.
Furthermore, our team negotiates the lowest possible survey/tally charge rates,
liaises regularly with the surveyor throughout his intervention and updates the
clients accordingly. Once the intervention is complete, our offices ensure that
the final report is received at soon as possible, sending it by email unless a
hard copy has been specifically requested.
Our surveyors are available to attend on board a ship at sea or in
berth, at the receiver’s premises, or wherever is appropriate and at whatever
time or day their presence is required. The long and stable relationships
created with these surveyors over our years of collaboration with them enable
us to propose a quality and efficient service to our clients at the most
reasonable cost.
