Lamorte Burns & Co. offers a full range of maritime consulting and adjusting services
International Carrier Bonds
Vessels must post security in the form of an International Carrier Bond ("ICB"). The face value of the ICB can differ depending upon the security requirements
of the port of entry, usually from $50,000 to $150,000. Lamorte Burns offers an ICB service to assist our clients to comply with these new requirements.
Claims Handling
Shipowners and operators face claims from a wide variety of parties in their day to day operations; some are run of the mill whereas others are dramatic incidents that will never be forgotten.
A responsible claims organisation is able to efficiently mitigate risks and exposure and handle disputes whilst protecting the clients’ reputation and prevent their operations suffering disruption regardless of the claim’s severity.

Certificates of Financial Responsibility
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act require operators of vessels of
300 gross tons or more present "evidence of financial responsibility," through the purchase of Certificates of Financial Responsibility, prior to entering U.S. waters.
