Representing the international insurance market in Brazil
For decades, A. L. Reichenbach has surveyed, inspected and adjusted marine and cargo claims on behalf of underwriters, brokers and P&I interests worldwide — from the Amazon to the southern frontier.
From first notice of loss to final report, we act as the independent, local link between an incident in Brazil and the interests covering it abroad.
Loss and damage surveys for importers, exporters and their insurers — pre-shipment, on-arrival and claims attendance.
Condition, damage and repair-supervision surveys for shipowners, charterers and underwriters of every tonnage.
Rapid attendance at groundings, collisions and total losses, with general-average and salvage support.
Draft surveys, on/off-hire condition and quantity determination for bulk and break-bulk cargoes.
Inspection and warranty attendance for rigs, offshore units and energy-sector marine operations.
Inspections and expert consultancy for brokers, the industrial market and independent insurance interests.
Founded in São Paulo in 1968, A. L. Reichenbach has served the foreign insurance market for generations, combining the judgement of seasoned average agents with offices and representatives along the entire Brazilian coast.
Offices and representatives distributed along the Brazilian coast — ensuring a surveyor can attend, fast, wherever an incident occurs.
Since 1968 the firm has represented the German marine insurance market in Brazil — originally the Hamburg (VHA) and Bremen (VBS) associations, today united as the VHT, the Association of Hanseatic Marine Underwriters — alongside underwriters, brokers and P&I interests worldwide.
