De Haas Van Oosterhout

True specialists in the field of casualty investigation, marine engineering, cargo and expert witness services for the international shipping & insurance industry and legal profession. Our work is expressed in our logo: the circles are the pieces of information. The colours are our disciplines: nautical, marine engineering and cargo. We draw the lines between the circles, to get to the essence of the matter and provide an independent, clear and complete view on causation, nature and extent of damage for settling a maritime insurance claim or liability discussion We are a niche marine expert firm with several decades of experience in surveying, in-depth investigations, troubleshooting, and rendering advice on a broad range of matters associated with marine claims, casualties, emergencies and litigation support. We offer cost-effective services, value-adding knowledge, and expert opinion from recognised specialists. Our services help our customers in four ways: through the COVERAGE of our specialisms, through the QUALITY of our people and reports, through our CREDIBILITY in the industry and through making ourselves EASY to deal with. From external casualties, such as grounding, flooding, or even capsize, collision, major shift of cargo, engine failure or container stow collapse, to cargoes themselves being the cause of the casualty, we have expertise in these fields.
