What to do in the event of damage or loss

  • Report the circumstances as soon as possible to your broker or ourselves.
  • Take immediate steps to minimise further loss (Navigators & General will reimburse reasonable expenditure), including prompt action to reduce damage to machinery immersed in water.
  • If the accident has resulted in personal injury or damage to property or third parties, do not admit liability or take legal action without our consent.
  • If towage or salvage is required to protect your vessel from serious damage, try to agree a realistic set fee before acceptance.
  • Download our claims advice notes for help on how to make a claim.
