We manage every stage of marine risk and claims across our region. Global Insurers and Reinsurers receive full on-the-ground support. Claimants also benefit from our constructive approach, founded on transparency and technical accuracy, consistently prioritising the fair and timely settlement of claims.
What We Do
We combine specialist knowledge and local presence to oversee the entire claims process with efficiency and impartiality.
In any marine claim situation, we act as the ‘eyes and ears’ of our instructing principal, protecting interests and providing regular updates as needed.
Our qualified and experienced marine surveyors and average adjusters assess vessel damage and verify incurred repair costs for relevance and reasonableness. We liaise with both the Insured and the Broker, maintaining regular and transparent reporting to keep all concerned parties fully informed throughout the process.
We coordinate surveys on collisions, assessment of crew injuries, and third party claims, liaise with local authorities, and manage every detail on your behalf.
We mobilise immediately when major incidents occur. We are experienced in taking charge – e.g., calling and liaising with emergency services and communicating with all parties.
We thoroughly investigate the circumstances, advise on mitigation where possible, and offer impartial adjustment of claims covered by cargo policies.
We inspect vessels, cargo, and port operations and advise on pre-risk mitigation measures, preventing or minimising future losses for global insurers and reinsurers.
Who We Are
The LATAM Marine Group is a marine claims solutions company that has been established in Latin America’s marine insurance scene to provide global Insurers and Reinsurers with full oversight of claims management on the ground, leading to fair and timely settlements.
Our objective is to handle every claim professionally and according to international standards. We streamline the marine claims process wherever possible, challenge the status quo if and when necessary, and bring transparency to every case to protect our clients’ interests.
Our regional network in Latin America means faster response times, fewer cultural and procedural missteps, and more confidence for insurers and reinsurers located in Europe and the United States.
