SERVICES
HELLENIC MARINE ADJUSTERS S.A. PROVIDE A PROFESSIONAL APPROACH TO MARINE CLAIMS
USING OUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE WORKING FOR
SHIPOWNERS, SHIPMANAGERS, P&I CLUBS, HULL AND CARGO INSURERS
WE PREPARE CLAIMS FOR:
GENERAL AVERAGE AND SALVAGE
Where an extraordinary sacrifice or expenditure is voluntarily and reasonably made or incurred in time of peril for the purpose of preserving the property involved in the common maritime adventure, the party on whom the loss falls is entitled, subject to the conditions imposed by maritime law, to a contribution from the other interested parties in the adventure.
PARTICULAR AVERAGE
A particular average loss is a partial loss of the subject-matter insured, caused by a peril insured against.
COLLISION LIABILITY / RECOVERY CLAIMS
Under the normal policy of insurance the underwriters will be liable to pay for damage to other vessels or their cargoes following a collision, together with any legal costs which have been incurred with their consent. Some policies (e.g. American Institute Hull Clauses – Hulls – 2.6.77) provide for such damages and costs to be paid in full, while others (e.g. Institute Time Clauses – Hulls – 1.10.83 and 1.11.95) only pay 3/4ths of these items. In the latter case the balance of 1/4th will generally be recoverable from a Protection and Indemnity Association depending upon the terms of the vessel’s entry. Collision liability / recovery claims are prepared on the agreed percentage of blame basis.
LOSS OF HIRE
Some casualties may result in a significant period of off-hire and loss of earnings for the damaged vessel. Loss of Hire cover is based on days (or part of days) at an agreed daily rate when the vessel is off-hire due to a claim recoverable under the Hull and Machinery insurance. When the period of repairs exceeds an agreed number of days – commonly 14 days – the assured has a valid claim under the cover.
