Loss Prevention and Advice

Besides the fact that DGS Marine Management Services (DGS) as The British European & Overseas FD&D Facility’s Manager is a competent partner for the Assured in case of a claim, DGS sees its most urgent task also in a proactive loss prevention as every avoided loss helps to protect life and property value.

Regardless of whether the Assured has a special question in an individual case or wants to discuss general problems, DGS is always at his disposal with its expertise.

Further substantial elements of our Loss-Prevention Programme are, regularly issuing circulars containing detailed reports about news and measures concerning loss prevention as well as reporting on current legal changes and decisions also concerning marine insurance.

In addition the Assured will find suggestions for wordings and drafts that can be of assistance when working on charter parties.

Furthermore DGS likes to invite its Assureds to seminars and workshops with a main focus on claims and loss prevention which are held on its own premises. Thus special subjects can be worked over and discussed in small groups practically. It is thereby always the intention to point out special risk exposures and facts that affect liability and to offer ways of prevention or reduction of same.
