PROVEN CASES

  • LOAD BANK

    LOSS CONTEXT

    Loss Type: Load Bank – Total Loss

    Incident: Fire incident (on-site)

    Location: Dallas, Texas

    Condition: Fire damage to equipment, trailers, and surrounding accessories

    COORDINATION SCOPE

    SloaneStar managed full-site recovery, coordinating low-boy and rotator deployment, on-site dismantling and clean-up, and transport to downstream processing facilities.

    OUTCOME

    - Maximized scrap value via direct access to national markets

    -Increased recovery by bypassing local resale layers

    -Cleared site in ~1.5 weeks from adjudication

    -Minimized unnecessary disposal and handling costs

    -Accelerated claim closure with improved economics

  • MARINE CABLE

    LOSS CONTEXT

    Loss Type: Submarine Cable – Total Loss (~13,000 ft, approx. US$ 1.5M)

    Incident: Dropped during offloading operations

    Location:

    Condition: Full cable damage following impact; reel rendered non-recoverable

    COORDINATION SCOPE

    SloaneStar engineered and executed a non-traditional recovery plan, including on-site segmentation of the cable and coordinated transport via flatbed trucks under constrained logistical conditions.

    OUTCOME

    - Recovered value from a total-loss asset through adaptive handling strategy

    - Overcame logistical constraints (frozen lake, transport limitations)

    - Enabled transport via segmented loads, avoiding uneconomical alternatives

    - Completed full recovery and site clearance in under 30 days

    - Delivered cost-efficient resolution under complex field conditions

  • ROOF STRUCTURE LOSS

    LOSS CONTEXT
    Loss Type: Collapsed steel building frame

    Incident: Storm damage during new warehouse construction

    Location: Laredo, Texas

    Condition: Damaged materials obstructing the active construction site

    COORDINATION SCOPE

    SloaneStar coordinated on-site salvage planning and processing of damaged steel materials, aligning site constraints with downstream recycling requirements.

    OUTCOME

    - Damaged materials processed and removed without delaying site recovery

    - Scrap material is marketed and sold through appropriate channels

    - Reduced disposal volume and avoided inefficient off-site handling

    - Supported timely and cost-aware claim resolution

  • COPPER POWDER

    LOSS CONTEXT
    Cargo: Industrial copper powder (approx. 35,000 lbs)

    Incident: Hard-braking event during transport

    Location: Mount Jackson, Virginia

    Condition: Cargo held at third-party yard pending resolution.

    COORDINATION SCOPE

    SloaneStar coordinated post-incident cargo assessment and salvage planning, including transloading arrangements and downstream sale coordination.

    OUTCOME

    - Cargo transferred to alternate transport

    - Salvage value preserved through resale

    - Avoided extended trailer rental and third-party storage fees

    - Reduced overall claim cost and handling duration
