Insurance and P&I: the chronology adjusters expect at hand back
Berth is operator documentation, not a certified survey, P&I sign-off, or legal advice.
When a hull claim or crew injury overlaps with pre-existing gelcoat tags, adjusters and P&I correspondents ask for a timeline they can forward without re-opening your camera roll.
What to put in the folder
- Onboard baseline with pre-existing damage tags and optional guest acknowledgment
- Hand back in the same vessel zones with new tags only in compare
- Proof URL and verify hash on the export footer for metadata integrity
- platform_ref or broker ref on the booking header when the trip came from outside your inbox
Layup seasons use the same shape: fall in / spring out compare for yards and owners.
