01 Hull & Machinery

When the hullmeets the unexpected.

H&M policies protect the hull, the machinery, and the people who built their lives around them. Our job is to find out what happened, document it, and tell you whether the loss is recoverable, reasonable, and accurate — for owners, underwriters, brokers, and counsel.

“We don’t guess. We measure, we photograph, we ask, and we write it down.”

Scope · A

Casualty & damage
  • Total-loss assessment
  • Damage to ship, engines, equipment
  • Fires & explosions
  • Groundings (incl. salvage & GA)
  • Collisions (RDC)
  • Striking other objects (FFO)

Scope · B

Condition & repair
  • Pre-purchase & condition surveys
  • Repair specification & cost review
  • On-site repair oversight
  • Owner’s-rep at the yard
  • Class & flag liaison
  • Casualty investigation reports

When to
instruct us

Call at the first sign of a casualty — the earlier we attend, the cleaner the evidence and the stronger your position. Our surveyors and naval architects attend across the Americas, 24/7.

Pick up. We answer.

Tell us the vessel, the port, and the problem. A surveyor will be on the way.
