Charles Taylor expands marine capabilities

Insurance services firm Charles Taylor has expanded its marine capabilities by integrating Bowditch Marine, Pilot Marine, and the marine surveyors of Charles Taylor Adjusting US, as Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services.

The integration is aimed at bringing together a team of professional marine surveyors with a proactive approach to protecting clients’ marine assets.

The newly integrated team will provide marine and cargo surveying and consulting services to assist vessel owners, reinsurance and insurance underwriters, and other maritime interests. Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services will offer the full spectrum of technically advanced surveying services from pre-voyage inspections to post-damage surveys.

Charles Taylor purchased Bowditch Marine in 2018 and acquired Pilot Marine in 2020 to service the US marine industry.

“The creation of Charles Taylor Marine Technical Services, through bringing together our highly skilled industry professionals, will enable us to centralize technical expertise under one brand, streamline client responsiveness and leverage operational scale,” said Christopher Schaffer, head of Charles Taylor Third Party Administration.
