Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), the corporate insurer of Allianz Group, has appointed Samson Rathaur as senior marine risk consultant.

Based in London, Rathaur will report to Dennis Murphy, Allianz Risk Consulting regional manager and will support Rahul Khanna, global head of marine risk consulting.

Rathaur has 20 years’ experience in the marine industry and has worked on a variety of different vessels; from passenger ferries to bulk carriers and container ships

Khanna said: “The marine market is changing rapidly with ever increasing vessels sizes and new routes opening up. The industry is critical to the global economy with 90 percent of trade estimated to be transported by sea. This is why we are growing our field of experts in this area.

“Samson brings on-the-ground knowledge of the marine market having worked across the industry. His recent sailing experience on board high-tech passenger vessels and risk assessments of ports will be a true asset.”
