Project Cargoes

The transport of high value and outsized items regularly requires approval by a Marine Warranty Surveyor as a requirement of the insurance policy (e.g. cargo, construction or Delay in Start-Up).

We work closely with insurers and assureds to minimise the risk associated with the transport of project cargoes. This ranges from single item shipments to large (mega) projects where multiple cargoes are shipped from different sites.

We are recognised as a leading source of expertise on the transport of project cargoes and have written guides on this subject on behalf of insurers. For example, we have written a guide to project cargo shipments on behalf of the UK P&I Club and Allianz (see link below)
