The Claims & Risk Management Analyst is responsible for handling all aspects of Jones Act claims, including crew injury or illness claims whether they remain onboard or are determined not fit for duty.

Should the ill or injured mariner be deemed not fit for duty, the Analyst will be responsible for administering applicable benefits, handling medical treatment through agents, and hospitals until the mariner is fit to travel. Once the ill or injured mariner has been repatriated, the Claims & Risk Management Analyst will communicate to them the treatment and benefits plan and support them until the claim is resolved. The Analyst will support the Risk Management & Claims Manager, identifying claim KPIs, providing monthly claim status and participating in the monthly claim review. The Claims analyst will consult the MLL Legal Department on any questions regarding administration of maintenance and cure. Additional responsibilities include developing, proposing, initiating, and implementing recommendations to better manage and reduce risk and exposure regarding claims, and to minimize negative impact to the company’s bottom line.
