Lional reports to the Principal Director – Marine, and is responsible for the development and implementation of ICS policy on cargo issues, with particular focus on dry bulk, container and dangerous goods, both in packaged form and in bulk.  This includes participation in International Maritime Organization Sub-Committees and being Consultant to various Industry Groups in collaboration with other NGOs to represent the interests of ICS Members, shipowners and operators.

I am excited to be working for ICS to represent shipowner interests at IMO, with national governmental and non-governmental bodies.  I feel that my appetite for knowledge coupled with my hands on experience on board and ashore will prove to be a valuable asset to ICS members and their members in developing the future maritime industry.
