Claims guidance for boats–Part I
Even if your boat is insured, you as an owner have the responsibility of securing your property. In the event of an accident or damage, boat owners of insured vessels have every reason to remain calm, as your marine insurance company will strive to deal with the case fairly. Here are tips of what to do after loss or damage.
Inform your insurer as soon as possible. In case of theft or a malicious third party, inform the police. Fill out and submit the claim form immediately, attached with repair estimates. A Marine Surveyor may contact you to advise on repairs and make a report.
