Marine & Logistics

A delay at one port can lead to hundreds or even thousands of missed transfers or late deliveries at other ports across the globe.

These sectors can also be particularly prone to fraudulent or criminal activity, so we are always on the look out for signals that may indicate that provided data is not all that it seems. Honest mistakes by inexperienced or underqualified staff can also complicate matters.

Where trade financing arrangements are in place, large sums of money may be backed by physical inventory. We have advised on claims where records of such inventory have been falsified, leading to loans being fraudulently draw-down in excess of true inventory value, followed by eventual defaults.

We have worked on numerous instructions across the marine and logistics sectors, investigating loss of profits, stock/cargo losses and damage claims.
