Opportunity BasketGeneral Average Claims Coordinator Service (Boutique Adjuster Network)
A specialized claims coordination service that acts as a single point of contact for cargo owners during general average declarations. The service maintains pre-negotiated relationships with marine adjusters, average adjusters, and P&I clubs, and deploys a dedicated coordinator per incident to aggregate documentation, communicate with all parties, calculate exposure in real-time, and push for faster settlements. Cargo owners pay a retainer + success fee to have someone actively fighting their corner instead of passively waiting for adjusters to coordinate.

Value Proposition
Eliminates paralysis by providing immediate visibility into liability, active negotiation with adjusters to reduce claims, and faster cash-flow recovery. Beats existing model because coordinators have skin in the game (success fee) and pre-built relationships with adjusters, versus cargo owners cold-calling adjusters who have no urgency. Reduces average settlement time from 6-9 months to 2-4 months.
Target Audience
Mid-to-large cargo owners (importers, exporters, freight forwarders) shipping high-value goods (electronics, machinery, perishables, automotive) on regular routes; particularly those without in-house maritime claims expertise
Key Features
- 24/7 incident hotline—coordinator assigned within 4 hours of general average declaration
- Real-time liability dashboard showing preliminary exposure, documented losses, and settlement progress
- Pre-negotiated adjuster network with fixed fee schedules to reduce markup
- And more, with full implementation detail...

Cargo owners face unpredictable financial liability and operational paralysis during maritime incidents with general average declarationsWhen ships experience catastrophic events like fires, cargo owners suddenly face unexpected general average claims that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, with no clear visibility into their actual liability, timeline for resolution, or how to coordinate with multiple adjusters and carriers. Current processes rely on manual communication, paper-based documentation, and fragmented information across different parties, leaving cargo owners unable to quickly assess exposure, file claims, or plan contingencies while their goods remain stranded at sea for weeks or months.
