We provide clients with an outline of potential problems and their solutions based upon our loss control capabilities, local knowledge, and global strengths.
Reactive Loss Control– MLCE strives to prevent future losses by reviewing client loss frequency and severity trends and implementing practical, feasible recommendations in accordance with the needs and requirements of each insured.
Effective Communication– MLCE strives to ensure open lines of communication, to act as a “knowledge center” and exchange essential information that will assist the client, underwriter and MLCE team in carrying out loss prevention initiatives during the policy period.
Centers of Excellence– The Marine Loss Control Engineering Team consists of a global network of strategically placed, full time, loss control managers, made up of seasoned professionals with 25 years of experience in the industry on average, most with sea-going experience and licensed as Master Mariners. The team also has wide ranging complementary expertise as former cargo surveyors, port captains and claims specialists as well as specialized skills and experience in areas such as cargo crime prevention, logistics, and packaging.
To take advantage of the teams complementary skills and expertise and to maximize our effectiveness in delivering the full range of loss control services to our clients on a local level, the team has developed “Centers of Excellence” (COE) for various cargo, hull and machinery, marine liabilities and recreational marine related disciplines. Each COE includes a committee of MLCE managers with the necessary expertise to ensure that our services remain on the cutting edge in the related field and all local loss control operations remain fully supported on a global level.
