UK P&I Club promotes two senior leaders to strengthen Safety & Risk Management division

The UK P&I Club, a provider of protection and indemnity (P&I) insurance and other services for the international shipping community, has promoted Ansuman Ghosh to the newly created role of Director of Engineering, and Akshat Arora as Regional Loss Prevention Director (Singapore).

The two senior promotions within the firm’s Safety & Risk Management division aim to provide enhanced support to navigate a breadth of emerging operational challenges.

Most recently, Ghosh served as the Director of Risk Assessment (Singapore). His appointment is part of the Club’s commitment to guiding members through the changing landscape of maritime technology and decarbonisation.

Additionally, it emphasises the Club’s recognition of the growing influence and technical implications of new technologies, alternative fuels, and the advanced onboard procedures and systems that are reshaping the shipping industry.

He joined the Club in 2018 and brings a wealth of technical expertise and operational insight from both his time at sea and his years supporting members from shore-based roles.

In Ghosh’s new role, he will work closely with stakeholders across the global maritime community, including shipowners, operators, regulators, and technology providers, to offer tailored advice and support.

Arora was most recently a Senior Risk Assessor. His appointment reinforces the Club’s focus on maritime safety, sustainability, and operational excellence across the Asia-Pacific region.

Based in Singapore, Akshat will lead the Club’s regional loss prevention initiatives, working closely with Members to address the evolving risk landscape and support compliance with international regulations and best practices.

With extensive sea-going experience as a Master Mariner, Akshat has delivered technical and practical guidance on crew and cargo claims, incident investigation, and environmental compliance.

Arora’s has expertise in cyber risk management, seafarer wellbeing, sustainable ship recycling, and casualty response. In his new role, Arora will focus on providing tailored support to members, fostering partnerships across the maritime industry, and driving the Club’s strategic vision to deliver practical, risk-based guidance that promotes safe, sustainable, and resilient maritime operations.

Stuart Edmonston, Director of Safety & Risk Management, UK P&I Club, commented, “We are deeply committed to anticipating and understanding market changes so that we can equip our Members with the practical and technical insights they need to deliver safer, more efficient and sustainable shipping operations.

“Both Ansuman and Akshat’s extensive experience and deep understanding of the maritime sector make them ideally suited to support our Members as they navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance, fuel transitions, and the integration of emerging technologies.”
