Sound familiar?

🚢 Vessel grounding at 2am — P&I club, owner, and salvors all calling at once...

⏰ USCG marine casualty report due in 5 days — buried in an email from last week...

📋 Cargo claim with 3 surveyors, 2 P&I clubs, and 4 cargo interests — no central log...

⚓ Charter party arbitration notice window closing — discovered in a forwarded email...

🌍 Seafarer injury claim across three jurisdictions — deadlines in each tracked separately...

🌙 Incident response billing reconstruction because urgent calls were not time-recorded...

A missed maritime lien perfection deadline can void millions in vessel security.

How Dewx works for maritime law practices

One platform for vessel casualty response, claims management, arbitration tracking, and multi-party communication.

1. Rapid Incident Response

When a casualty occurs, every party's communications are immediately centralized in one matter workspace. No critical message from P&I clubs, surveyors, or owners is ever lost in a personal inbox.

  • Multi-party matter hub
  • Incident notification routing
  • New client inquiry pipeline

2. Track Every Filing

USCG report deadlines, maritime lien perfection windows, arrest bond periods, and arbitration timelines all tracked with jurisdiction-specific advance reminders.

1Incident reported, matter opened
2All filing deadlines set automatically
3Reminders sent to team and client
4Filed on time, next deadline tracked

3. Coordinate All Parties

Dew AI generates status summaries for vessel owners, updates P&I clubs on investigation progress, and keeps all parties informed without repetitive manual email drafting.

Dewx incident summary:

"MV Atlantic Star: USCG report due in 9 days. Survey completed yesterday. P&I club awaiting letter of undertaking. Owner wants status update. Draft all three communications?"

Maritime Law Practice FAQ

How does Dewx help maritime attorneys manage vessel casualty response coordination?

When a casualty occurs, speed matters. Dewx immediately creates a matter workspace that unifies all communications from vessel operators, P&I clubs, surveyors, USCG investigators, and co-counsel in one place. Dew AI tracks USCG report submission deadlines, survey coordination timelines, and preservation of evidence obligations from the moment the matter opens.

Can Dewx handle multi-party cargo claim correspondence?

Yes. Cargo claims involve shippers, consignees, freight forwarders, carriers, P&I clubs, cargo insurers, and independent surveyors — all generating correspondence simultaneously. Dewx organizes every communication in the claim-specific matter view with full chronological logs, making it easy to reconstruct timelines and prepare for arbitration.

How does Dewx track charter party arbitration deadlines?

For each charter party dispute, Dewx tracks the applicable arbitration rules timeline — whether LMAA, AAA, SMA, or ad hoc. Notices of arbitration, statement of claim deadlines, counterclaim windows, and hearing dates are all tracked with advance reminders sent to the lead attorney. No arbitration opportunity is missed due to a lapsed response window.

Can Dewx support maritime lien and arrest proceedings management?

Absolutely. Maritime lien perfection windows, vessel arrest coordination, and release bond tracking can all be managed in Dewx. For multi-jurisdiction arrest actions, each jurisdiction's requirements and response timelines are tracked separately. Dew AI sends reminders before lien perfection deadlines to protect your clients' security interests.

Is Dewx suitable for both boutique admiralty firms and large maritime practice groups?

Yes. Dewx works for a 3-attorney admiralty boutique handling 60 active matters and for a large firm maritime group managing hundreds of casualties and claims simultaneously. The platform's shared matter views, multi-party communication logs, and AI-generated status reports scale to whatever practice size and complexity you operate.
