In shipping anything can happen anywhere and at any time. In case a master, ship owner, charterer or insurer is in need of local representation, the specialists of NNPC Correspondents are on stand-by to provide all-in 24/7 services for all P&I, marine insurance related and maritime incidents, claims and disputes including: cargo claims, legal disputes, contracts, surveys, collisions, oil spills, crew matters, personal injury and stowaways.
There where and when you need us (24/7)
Sometimes the correspondent can simply assist a master, but often there is much more to be done. Information has to collected, a suitable surveyor or lawyer has to be appointed and the principal needs to be kept informed of developments. It is therefore crucial that a correspondent acts quickly and decisively, mindful of the possible risks and consequences of the incident, the legal position of the shipowner or charterer or for example to ensure the best possible care for a hospitalized crew member.
