Qwest

Qwest is a unique partnership bringing together leading marine insurance provider West of England and innovative legal and claims consultancy C Solutions to provide products and services for the global shipping industry.

Our aim is to support ship owners, operators, charterers and others in the marine transportation chain across the full voyage lifecycle, from the provision of pre-fixture advice and information through to the post-voyage collection of demurrage and dispute resolution.

Our team has extensive experience across a range of disciplines and Qwest’s services can be tailored to meet each client’s individual needs, from case-by-case consultation to the full outsourcing of in-house legal, claims and post-fixture functions.
