Industry-leading solutions for every marine and transportation claim.

Complete cargo services

Our team has a thorough understanding of how cargo moves and an in-depth knowledge of the industry. Container losses come in all shapes and sizes, such as losses involving fire damage or materials falling overboard. We have extensive experience managing container losses across the globe and our dedicated team will establish the extent and cause of the damages. We also provide project cargo and warranty services, which include assessing the suitability of the cargo, vessel and handling gear at the start of an operation. We bring together our team’s global expertise to ensure the highest standards of pre-risk loss control.

Hull and machinery

Our dedicated experts bring their seagoing, engineering and shipbuilding experience to bear on behalf of insurers, owners and operators, providing nautical surveys on all types of vessels and docking facilities.

Responsabilidad marítima y del transportista

We regularly investigate and adjust liability claims across the full range of risks insured in the marine market. Our cargo and logistics expertise brings benefits both in terms of more effective loss mitigation as well as careful investigation of the cause of loss and the responsibility for it. Claims involving maritime law are among the most challenging in the workers’ compensation industry. Employers need a partner that understands the unique rules and regulations governing these cases to ensure compliance and avoid fines. Sedgwick’s maritime claims specialists are experts in Jones Act claims investigations for U.S. and international incidents. We also provide claims administration for cases involving the U.S. Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Act.
