FREIGHT DEMURRAGE AND DEFENCE

DGS Marine Management Services acts as managers for the British European & Overseas FD&D facility (within a claims limit of Euro 1m). We are exceptionally well placed to complete with the major domestic and international FD&D providers in the fixed rate premium market. Originally centred on trade within northern Europe and the Baltic, the service is now truly worldwide, underwriting a wide range of vessels:

• general cargo ships

• bulk carriers

• reefer vessels

• fishing vessels

• small tankers

• research vessels

• tugs and supply ships

• floating cranes

• port and river craft

• ice breakers

Our service is supported by ‘A’ rated securities and we have a strong in-house
team of specialised legal experts. Whilst the service already operates to highly
professional and internationally accepted standards, DGS Marine is determined to
develop the facility and react quickly and positively to customers’ comments and
suggestions.

Cost effectiveness and tight management control are central to our service. By
concentrating on clients’ individual requirements, the commercial and legal realities
of the case and using our legal expertise and worldwide network, we can advise
on customers’ urgent day to day problems and work hard to resolve complex
international issues.
