Ben is a highly qualified Marine Surveyor/Claims Adjuster, and we are fortunate that he chose to join the INS Claims Services Team. He speaks fluent Punjabi and Hindi.

Ben has always enjoyed working close to the sea and it’s here where he feels most comfortable. Ben served for 15 years in the Indian Navy where he was trained in ship construction and naval architecture. He was responsible for ship maintenance of Hull and associated machinery, fittings, and equipment systems on Naval Ships. After leaving the navy Ben went on to become a Marine Surveyor and Loss Assessor (adjuster) in India for six years where he adjusted marine losses, property damage and flood claims, Hull damage claims, cargo claims and a host of other insured losses.

Ben immigrated to Canada and for the last 13 years he worked for three large independent firms where he specialized in marine cargo damage claims, out-turn surveys, discharge/delivery, pre-insurance surveys and project cargo surveys as well as Hull / Machinery damage claims to small crafts / boats.

During his tenure with these firms, he also had a great deal of exposure in adjusting trucking cargo claims as well as various types of property losses, bodily injury and automobile subrogation claims. Over the years as a Marine Surveyor, Ben has amassed a large number of contacts to assist in the recovery and sale of distressed cargo in order to maximize salvage return.
