Taylor Marine were appointed on behalf of property insurers of a UK Marina to investigate the circumstances surrounding an allision and subsequent fracture of a vent pipe, which rendered the marina gate inoperable. The incident resulted in a severe drop in the marina water level, requiring an emergency drawdown in an attempt to prevent and minimise damages to marina equipment and moored boats. With the assistance of Taylor Marine TR Little, the case was later settled out of court in favour of the property insurers and the UK Marina.
