All partners are members of the Association of German Average Adjusters (V.D.D.). Both Groningers are also members of the Association Mondiale de Dispacheurs, formerly A.I.D.E., which Jörn Groninger served as president. Due to these activities, as well as regular attendances at international conferences and the membership in "Allied International Services" (a cooperation of adjusters, average agents and other experts in Europe, Africa, North and South America), the office maintains worldwide connections and has often cooperated with other adjusters and experts in the marine field located all over the world.

Adjustment of claims of general average including all kinds of work connected therewith, such as collecting security for shipowners and salvors from the owners of the salved properties, acting as trustees for the collected funds and settlement of the case with all parties concerned.
