Yacht Damage Surveyor

 

My work primarily involves representation on behalf of underwriters.  My background of over 40 years of doing surveys (both yacht and small boat) allows me to bring to the table many years of experience.

 

As you know damage surveys are usually required by an marine underwriters to assess the extent of damage and cause of damage to a vessel resulting from an accident.  My responsibility is to carry out a thorough examination and report on the resulting condition of the vessel, the probable cause of the damage, recommended repairs, and an estimate of the cost of such repairs.  This will require liaising with the client, boat yards or repairers and transportation specialists. I often travel throughout the east coast and Caribbean.

 

As an insurance company you should expect immediate reporting of survey findings / damage assessment. I therefore will make every effort to be as expedient as possible in my handling of your assignment.  

 

 

I also manage a large independent catastrophe team, which consists  15 fully qualified Marine Surveyors who respond to major marine incidents, including hurricanes.  The 2004 hurricane season brought us over 400 marine surveys in the Florida area within three months.  The infamous 2005 Season with Katrina over 1000 surveys and even the 2006 season with no hurricanes still Ernesto brought us almost 300 CAT surveys. All surveys were processed to completion, typically within a four week period following assignment.  

 

Our current clients include many of the nations leading insurance companies. Each spring we meet for a three day seminar on marine claims handling, client needs review, and at the same time, meet with clients who present us with their updated requirements.  If you would like to attend the CAT meeting this spring in Atlanta or would like more information about it, please contact us.
