Braden Marine is a Canadian company, founded in 1994 by Tony Brain and Neil Dennis to provide Average Adjusting and marine claim consultancy services. Prior to forming Braden Marine, both founding members gained considerable experience in Average Adjusting, mainly in the United Kingdom and Canada. In 2001, Greg O’Brien joined Braden Marine after having worked for many years with a Canadian shipowner.

A tradition of trust and respect which Braden Marine developed at its early beginnings still continues to this day. For over 40 years, domestically and internationally, the principals of Braden Marine have been employed in settling claims on marine insurance policies for vessels, cargo, shipbuilding and repair, as well as business interruption and other marine-related claims.
