Claims handling, outsourcing & worldwide survey coordination
Claims handling
Unusually complex claims, claims portfolios covering the globe requiring local expertise, high-frequency claims or temporary staff shortages: whatever your reason for needing claims handling assistance, you’ll need a partner that has the staff capacity, the legal and technical expertise, a uniform global IT platform, and the geographical presence. Van Ameyde Marine’s network offers all that and more.
Outsourcing
Claims handling may take up a considerable part of your resources, even though it’s not necessarily your core business. There are multiple strategic reasons to decide to outsource claims handling on a more permanent basis. Ranging from ever increasing complexity in terms of legislation, high-volume claims for which you would have to dramatically increase your staff capacity or the effective management of run-off portfolios. Van Ameyde Marine’s global network offers customised solutions for all your outsourcing needs.
