The main tasks of our risk consultants include the attendance during heavy-lift and project cargo loading operations, examining of method statements, calculation and approval of cargo securing measures on all modes of transport, risk analyses of warehouses, consulting on transport packaging, supply-chain risk analyses, investigations of basic losses and individual risk management.
Technical surveys
In case of major claims, our technical experts and mechanical engineers travel the world on behalf of our principals in order to assess the damage.
Our technical experts command in-depth and comprehensive expertise, particularly in the areas of machinery and equipment, wind energy, aviation, passenger and commercial vehicles, as well as machine breakdown, infrastructure and hull damage in the railway sector.
Salvage sales
In order to actively support our clients with loss mitigation, our in-house salvage sales department also carries out the tendering and processing of the sale of damaged goods on behalf of cargo owners.
The entire process from tendering to sale and disposition of the goods is transparently and comprehensibly outlined for our principals. Alternatively, we are happy to establish contact with domestic and international buyers.
