Post-Incident Damage Surveys

After an incident (collision, grounding, flooding, fire, storm damage or damage while moored), it is important to record the damage to the boat promptly and properly. A post-incident damage survey establishes the extent of the damage, its likely causes and the cost of repair.

Agenzia Magnum arranges the survey with qualified marine surveyors and helps you collect and organise the documents you need, so that you can deal with the insurer or the other party with a complete file.

How we help

• Arranging the surveyor's inspection, including an independent surveyor acting for you alongside the surveyor appointed by the insurer
• Collecting photographs, repair quotes and invoices, ship's papers and the policy
• Help preparing the documents to attach to the claim notification
• Handling any paperwork arising from the incident, such as duplicate documents or updated certificates

What to do straight after the incident

• Make people and the boat safe and, if necessary, notify the relevant authorities
• Photograph the damage before any work is done, except urgent repairs needed to prevent further damage
• Notify the insurer within the time limits and in the manner set out in the policy
• Keep receipts, quotes and all correspondence with boatyards and other parties

Contact us using the form at the bottom of the page with a brief description of the incident and where the vessel is: we will help you arrange the survey and prepare the documents.
