Deakin Marine carries out damage reports and claims assessment for leading insurance companies. Along with relevant marine surveying qualifications, Andrew's experience in boat building and in previous management of a large marine servicing workshop is of great benefit in assessing damage and particularly in relation to understanding quotations and invoices for repair.

The assessment report for the insurance company generally includes an investigation of an incident to determine the exact cause of loss where possible, an inspection of the damage with a full report and digital photography including a description of the repairs necessary and an assessment of quotations obtained with recommendations for any amendments.
