North P&I Club has boosted its loss prevention team in the Asia Pacific region with the transfer of Andrew Glen from the UK to Singapore.

Glen, a master mariner, joined North in 2006 and spent seven years in loss prevention at its head office in Newcastle, before being seconded into a project development role in 2013.

His role will have a particular focus on working with North’s membership in China, Japan and South Korea.

Glen joins Aniruddha Desai, who has been with North’s loss prevention team in Singapore since 2015.

James Moran, Singapore director, said: “The relocation of Andrew Glen to our Singapore office underpins our commitment to loss prevention support in the region.

"His skills and experience complement those of Aniruddha Desai. Between them, they have spent a combined 34 years at sea and will bring together their knowledge and expertise to successfully deliver our loss prevention initiatives for members in the region.”

Asia Pacific accounts for 36% of North's total entered tonnage of 195m gt.
