MCA's Mission is to prevent small problems from becoming large ones and to contain large ones in a manner that minimizes overall liability exposure.

Our correspondents are experienced and constantly being transferred “know-how” through seminars, and hands-on training.

MCA's correspondents provide rapid response when an incident occurs, and accurately report the circumstances. They undertake containment activity in order to minimize overall exposure, and seek a prompt and cost-effective resolution of claims.

This requires individuals on the local level with the necessary "know how" to immediately investigate an incident - large or small - keeping the client fully informed from the outset of a problem's potential magnitude. In addition, our local correspondents have developed personal relationships with decision makers in their respective countries, so that matters involving local port authorities, customs authorities, environmental agencies and police can be promptly resolved.

Finally, our local correspondents are alert for developments germane to potential liability exposures of our clients. Thus, legal and regulatory changes, trends and developments are monitored and reported to clients on a timely basis. Our correspondents give clients an opportunity to react proactively to conditions in their respective countries.

We understand the need for modernization of laws throughout Latin America involving vessel seizures and the acceptability of P&I Club letters of undertaking as a form of security.

We believe that our understanding of current legislation and our high level of contacts can be utilized to promote legislative change to the benefit of interests of P&I Clubs, other marine insurers and shipping clients.
