Hong Kong: London Offshore Consultants (LOC), a marine and engineering advisory group, have doubled the size of its Hong Kong office with the appointment of Ed Wollaston and Steve Salt, effective immediately.
Wollaston, a naval architect and chartered engineer, will be responsible for claims investigation specialising in classification and ship structural issues.
Salt, a marine engineer with more than 20 years experience at sea and over a decade ashore, joined LOC at the beginning of the year. Steve spent much of his time at sea as chief engineer on gas and chemical tanker vessels before moving to newbuilding supervisory, technical ship management and fleet management. He now specialises as an investigator in marine engineering, technical and operational tanker practice, and newbuild and shipyard cases.
“Ed and Steve bring exceptional levels of skill and experience to augment our Hong Kong operations,” said Paul Walton, director of Hong Kong operations. ”Over the last 12 months, we have seen huge growth in the demand for our services from Hong Kong. By joining us, they effectively double our capability.” [05/04/13]
