Wallem Ship Management Names New Director
David Price has started in the role of Managing Director Wallem Ship Management, taking a key position in Wallem’s continued growth as a ship management and technical services provider, the company announced.
David has worked in all senior levels of ship management and has a high degree of experience in technical management, manning, procurement and quality and safety. He began his career in shipping as a deck officer, leaving his sea career at the rank of captain.
Wallem Group CEO Simon Doughty said David will lead the ship management team in working with the broader services of the Wallem Group, offering clients a unique service unavailable elsewhere in the maritime market.
“Shipping is a constantly changing world, and a very competitive one, so to continue to deliver what our clients and stakeholders want today and predict their future needs, we have combined the right people and expertise,” explained Doughty.
“David will continue to develop the depth of our maritime professional expertise across the ship management team, and will introduce his own perspectives and ideas on how we can continue to grow as a successful Group,” said Doughty. “We have a diverse set of services across the Group and combined with our experts in almost every maritime sector, we can and do meet the needs of our clients, whether they use one of our services or all.
“With David’s knowledge and understanding of technical ship management, with a particular focus and understanding of quality and safety, our clients and seafarers can be assured that these essential ship management traits will continue to underpin Wallem’s services.”
Wallem Group’s growth plans include increasing the commercial, technical and crew managed fleets, introducing progressive tools and systems to both the Group and clients, building a strong logistics network in Asia, and escalating commercial focus and activity.
