BIMCO expands its Asian presence
Overview
Deputy Secretary General, Søren Larsen, is expected to relocate to Singapore in the first quarter of 2022 to facilitate BIMCO’s ambition to strengthen support to members and the wider maritime community in the region.
BIMCO is also present in Shanghai, opening its office in 2013 to better serve Chinese members and improve engagement with the country’s regulators and decision makers. The Shanghai office is headed by BIMCO’s Regional Manager of Asia, Wei Zhuang.
“I am delighted that Søren is relocating to Singapore to strengthen our global outreach and further develop our footprint in Asia. In addition to expanding our contractual expertise, Søren will be joined by Ashok Srinivasan, Manager, Maritime Safety and Security, to boost our technical knowledge in the region,” says BIMCO’s Secretary General and CEO, David Loosley.
Larsen will retain his role as Deputy Secretary General, keeping overall responsibility of BIMCO’s contractual work.
“I am truly excited to be part of the mission to increase BIMCO’s presence in the region and to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones. I also look forward to connecting the Asia region increasingly to all our activities, not least when it comes to contracts and clauses, which we know many of our Asian members value,” Larsen says.
