P&I Condition & Claims FAQ
What is a P&I survey?
An independent technical inspection assessing vessel condition and operational risks. Findings help underwriters evaluate risk exposure and ensure compliance with Club requirements.
Entry vs. Re-entry surveys?
Entry surveys occur before new insurance cover begins. Re-entry surveys are required after lay-ups, significant repairs, or when returning to service after major deficiencies.
Can you attend urgent claims?
Yes. We prioritize urgent claims to protect client interests, reviewing requests immediately for rapid response to maritime incidents and disputes.
Do you provide written reports?
Yes. Detailed technical reports are issued for every attendance, providing structured, evidence-based documentation of all observations made during the survey.
