Claims services
Claims teams
With staff from a variety of legal and commercial backgrounds and all with significant experience of P&I and Defence matters, our teams work closely with our Members to manage their claims exposure, from the smallest crew injury to major casualties. They also provide advisory services to help Members in preventing claims and on practical, legal and contractual measures which may reduce or limit exposure should an incident occur.
Letters of Indemnity
It is common industry practice for Members to be asked to accept a letter of indemnity (LOI) from a charterer or other party in return for the delivery of cargo without presentation of the original bills of lading, or for delivery of cargo at a port other than that named in the bill of lading, or a combination of the two.
