Sedgwick's yacht surveyors/adjusters are ready for Hurricane Isaias

July 31, 2020

Hurricane Isaias is brewing and forecasted to impact the islands of the northern Caribbean and the southeastern U.S. with heavy rain, winds and building seas. With hurricane season upon us and activity in the Atlantic starting to heat up, Sedgwick has formulated and enacted a comprehensive and strategic operation and response plan in order to be able to service all our clients’ needs in the industry with regard to large and small yachts, commercial vessels and watercraft.

Sedgwick has an assembled, dedicated team of marine/yacht surveyors tactically located throughout Florida, the east coast states and the Gulf states so as to have coverage anywhere that may be impacted by impending hurricanes and other tropical systems. Our footprint covers all areas that may be impacted, and we have the ability to be on scene immediately following any CAT event, boots on the ground. This allows us to provide a comprehensive and elite level of service which cumulates in mitigating overall losses due to our expertise in the field, ability to be on scene within hours after the storm and firsthand knowledge and experience with all aspects when handling large and small losses and large claim volumes as related to CAT events.

Our primary base of operations is located in southeast Florida, and the Yacht Practice team remains on standby and ready to assist with any scope of loss, both in the surveying and adjusting fields.

Assignments can be emailed to marineclaims@sedgwick.com, and we look forward to assisting you!

The catastrophic explosion in the Beirut port has caused widespread devastation — with more than 130 tragically reported deaths, 5,000 wounded, 300,000 displaced, and extensive damage to the port and buildings across the city. Rescue workers continue their search for those reported missing.

Sedgwick Middle East wants to ensure clients that we are here to help. We have resources in the region who are on standby for when access is granted, subject to the ability to enter Lebanon as a consequence of the COVID-19 restrictions and release of the damaged locations themselves.

Through our global expertise and agents based in Jordan and on the ground in Lebanon, we are able to respond to client queries regarding property, business interruption and marine claims within the region. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the colleagues listed below:
