Casualty Management

JECAMAR your marine emergency specialist

Lack of or wrong efforts made in the initial stages of an emergency can be substantial cost drivers. Time will be lost, which may cause unnecessary exposure for the stakeholders.

JECAMAR can provide experts with extensive experience in handling marine emergencies. We are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, by telephone and email to advise to assist and protect the interests of our clients in any way we can. 

We will, as soon as appointed, obtain relevant information and start the evaluation of the required emergency response during the first stages of an emergency, such as grounding, collision, fire and vessels adrift, to enable our Clients to always be in a position to respond quickly and professionally to mitigate loss. 

Some examples of how we can assist include:

  • Evaluation of the response requirements 
  • Evaluation and advice on salvage operations, including methodology and the utilisation of crafts, equipment, and personnel
  • Estimation of the exposure based on the first info obtained
  • Estimation of salvage costs
  • Evaluation and advice on bunker and cargo removal operations. 
  • Attendance on-site to monitor and report daily on the operational progress 
  • Hull modelling
  • Liaison with local and national authorities
  • Sourcing and negotiating with local manpower
  • Monitor and account for third-party contractors
  • Supporting client representatives and crew
     

LOF – SCOPIC

When a LOF is awarded for a casualty, the Salvor often invokes SCOPIC. At such times, we have Special Casualty Representatives or  Special H&M or Cargo Representatives with the necessary experience and qualifications to attend any casualty.
