Assess. Report. Advise.

Hullstone is an independent loss adjusting firm specialising exclusively in marine insurance claims.

We provide evidence-based assessment, technical investigation, and clear reporting to insurers.

Our role is to cut through uncertainty—establishing cause, quantifying loss, and delivering defensible outcomes aligned with policy intent.

Hullstone operates Australia-wide, with assessors strategically based across Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland. This footprint enables rapid response, local knowledge, and consistent service delivery across both metropolitan and regional marine environments.

Combined our assessors have marine industry experience of over 150 years, across boatbuilding, yacht rigging, engineering, electrical and professional seamanship. This combined experience is provided to Insurers to support claim decision making.

Our background combines hands-on maritime experience with formal loss adjusting practice. This enables us to move efficiently from first notification through to resolution across a broad range of marine claims, including:

· machinery failures

· vessel groundings and collisions

· sinking and flooding events

· storm and weather-related losses

· liability exposures and third-party claims

Hullstone is a member of the Australasian Institute of Marine Surveyors (AIMS) and the International Institute of Marine Surveyors (IIMS), reflecting our commitment to recognised industry standards, continuing professional development, and best practice methodologies.

Every instruction is approached with a focus on:

· factual accuracy

· proportional assessment

· and outcomes that withstand scrutiny, including regulatory and dispute environments

We are engaged where clarity matters for:

· when causation is disputed

· when quantum requires challenge

· or when claims require a disciplined, independent view
