Tom Boardley, as Marine Director, assumes responsibility for Lloyd’s Register’s global marine activities. He succeeds Alan Gavin.
Tom has worked in the shipping industry since graduation from university in 1978 when he joined P&O. Working in liner management and agency operations, he represented P&O in the UK, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Australia. In 2004 he became head of NYK Line’s European Container activities based in London. Most recently he was responsible for CMA CGM’s UK based operations, involving liner, agency and technical management responsibilities.
Key Role for Lloyd’s Register
Commenting briefly on his new responsibilities, Tom said, ‘I am very excited by the challenge of managing an organisation that sits at the heart of marine safety, marine technology and shipping operations. As a technical organisation, I believe that Lloyd’s Register will continue to play a key role in working with ship operators, shipbuilders and regulators to support continued progress in the global shipping business. We have more than 2800 marine surveyors, naval architects, engineers and supporting personnel in our network around the world – I am looking forward to helping all of them to realise our potential to support safety at sea.’
