From bunker quality issues, pollution, and subsequent cleaning operations to liability claim costs, legal issues, and risks that need to be assessed.

To secure their interests, these parties need specialists who
- are objective, independent, and always compliant with the latest marine regulations
- have real technical expertise in all areas of marine consultancy
- offer uniform service levels around the clock, wherever in the world you need us

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.

Our global team of multi-lingual survey coordinators are available around the clock to mobilise immediate response all around the world. Van Ameyde Marine’s network of own offices covers all the major ports, from the Baltic and North Sea to the APAC region.
