UK P&I Club appoints Anuj Velankar
The UK P&I Club, a major provider of P&I insurance and other services to the international shipping community, has appointed Anuj Velankar as regional loss prevention director.
A master mariner, Velankar joined UK P&I Club in 2012 after 17 years at sea, sailing and commanding oil tankers and other vessels for various shipping companies.
In his new position, Velankar is responsible for handling loss prevention and risk management on behalf of members in South East Asia. He is also involved in claims handling work for local members.
Velankar was instrumental in setting up the Club’s webinar series at the start of the pandemic, as the Club pivoted online to keep members and the wider marine sector updated on industry developments. Since April 2020, the Club has hosted nearly 20 webinars, accumulating 20,000 attendees. (cj)
