How a claim moves

From first notice to signed report.

Four steps, the same for every claim and every kind of expert. Below, one cargo claim in the Aegean goes through them.

0300:12, RFP sent to three surveyors

Send the request

You see exactly what bidders will see before it goes: the brief, never the amounts or the parties. Each bidder declares a conflict or confirms there is none. A claim that needs a surveyor and a lawyer runs a request for each.

Handler
Preview the RFP, pick who gets it, send.
Expert
Bid from your phone. Confidential details open on appointment.
04Day 3, report approved

Work, report, close

The surveyor records voice notes and tagged photos on board, offline if needed. Legal advice and documents arrive in the same place. When a report is submitted you approve it with a rating, or send it back.

Handler
Review each report, rate it, approve, close the claim.
Expert
Deliver, sign, invoice.

The world just got smaller.

The same claim needs four experts in three jurisdictions. For each need MarinAtlas proposes the nearest one who is qualified in the local law and has handled this kind of claim before.

Bids and rates, side by side.

Three surveyors were asked and three bids came back, in one currency, so you compare like with like. One of them has acted for the cargo owner: the conflict is flagged and that bid cannot be awarded.

Award is one step. The instructions and the confidential details go to the appointed surveyor, and to nobody else.

Twenty minutes, one real claim: upload it, see who Atlas suggests, send the RFP.

Atlas, the AI inside every claim.

A sextant turns a handful of sightings into one position. Atlas does that with a claim: it reads the documents, the vessel and the bids, and tells you where you stand.

Reads the claim for you
Any document, any language. Atlas fills in the claim form and you confirm it.
Ranks the experts and says why
Distance to the casualty, jurisdiction, expertise and rate, for every need on the claim.
Drafts the paperwork
Appointment letters, messages and report sections, written from what is on the claim.
Knows the vessel
Registry details and last known position, without leaving the claim.
Keeps it private
Each conversation is yours alone, and Atlas sees only what you are allowed to see.

Experts get Atlas too, on their own job: their bid, their field notes, their report.

One platform, two sides.

Every claim has a handler on one side and the experts they appoint on the other. This is what each of them gets.
