For insurance professionals
Clear values for every stage of a claim.
From first notice of loss to final settlement, adjusters and underwriters need facts they can rely on. VVS documents the damage, establishes pre-loss value and answers the after-repair questions, in one coordinated report.
The questions on your desk
A claim is only as fair as the facts behind it.
- What was the vessel worth immediately before the loss?
- Is the damage consistent with the reported event?
- Is it a repair, or a constructive total loss?
- Will a quality repair restore the vessel’s value?
- Has the vessel lost value even after it’s fixed?
How VVS helps
Survey and valuation, working from the same facts.
Because our surveyors and appraisers work side by side, the condition findings and the value opinion never contradict each other.
Before the loss
Pre-loss valuation
A supported opinion of what the vessel was worth on the day before the incident.
After the loss
Damage & casualty surveys
Documented damage, likely cause and repair scope, with photography and clear findings.
After the repair
After repair value
What the vessel is worth once repairs are complete, and whether value has been restored.
When value is lost
Diminution in value
Independent analysis of value lost because of a loss history, even after a quality repair.
Underwriting
Insurance condition surveys
Condition and risk findings to support new policies, renewals and agreed values.
Specialist input
Rigging, hydraulics & refit costs
