About us

For every area of expertise, Survey Bureau De Keersmaecker has seasoned surveyors who know the industry inside out. Our thorough damage assessments are delivered through clear and complete reporting. Survey reports are produced in multiple languages and give a comprehensive description of the damage as well as visuals providing concrete insight into the cause and (financial) consequences.

Operating from the world’s largest steel and breakbulk processing harbor, we are located at the very heart of industrial Europe. Our international network of surveyors covers main ports on four continents. Because of experience and flexible approach, our expertise is sought by underwriters, brokers, logistic providers and industrial companies from all over the world.

Survey Bureau De Keersmaecker was established in 1959 in Antwerp by Alfons De Keersmaecker with long-standing know-how in the steel industry, associated with a steel processing agency. In 1976 it merged into a larger, juridical partnership company. Over the past six decades, the firm has successfully delivered significant damage survey assignments for global insurance companies, international brokers and harbor-based players.

Today the second (Jan) and third (Sax) generation is sailing the ship, together with 8 permanent specialists from different fields of expertise who conduct damage surveys in a wide variety of branches across Europe, Africa, America and Asia.
