GAC is listed by all the 13 International Group Clubs, Fixed Premiums Clubs and H&M Insurers in the Middle East region. In India, GAC is the only correspondent having offices throughout the country with close access to major and minor ports. We have extensive experience in handling a variety of P&I claims and medical/crew matters for the past 15 years.
When something goes wrong on board a ship during a port call which could lead to a claim, such as cargo damage, crew injury/death, contact damage, collision or pollution, a speedy response is critical from an effective P&I correspondent. Time is of the essence to ensure the full investigation, documentation, and analysis of any claim to assess and minimise any financial exposure as a result of the incident.
GAC India is now recognised as a leader in the field, providing 24/7 incident and claims handling and surveying services. We are listed with major P&I clubs in India. GAC India has the best panel of surveyors available at every port, including remote areas.
