Volker Dierks, official at Germany-based Allianz Global Corporate and Specialty S.E., said that insurers, loss adjustors and shippers are increasingly using drones to assess damage to ships and cargo, DefenceWeb reported. Mr. Dierks said that drones could also be used to assess environmental pollution, monitor pirate activity and avoid hazards at sea to prevent or mitigate losses. Allianz has used drones to assess marine and property claims following hurricanes and wildfires in 2017, he added.
