VALUATION
SeaGround carry out surveys that are tailored to the circumstances and location of each grounding ensuring high quality and appropriate data is collected. We have experience in a range of survey techniques that include using remote acoustic and video technology, as well as using divers.
Analysis of data collected can be used to specifically define the consequences of a grounding event and the liability of ship owners and insurers. Our scientific background provides assurance that data is analysed and evaluated to deliver an accurate damage assessment.
Where authorities require restoration of damaged sites SeaGround is able to mobilise a scientific team to work with local contractors to design and implement a restoration programme, including managing build and follow-up monitoring activity.
We are able to provide ship owners and insurers with advice on valuation and compensation for damages that arise from ship groundings, and provide support covering all environmental and economic aspects of damage assessment and settlement negotiation.
