The Isle of Man Ship Registry (IOMSR) is looking to further grow its presence in the Middle East with the appointment of a representative for the region.
Captain Rakesh Yadav, who has more than three decades’ experience in the shipping industry and a wealth of knowledge of the region, has taken on the new key role. In the past he has held senior management positions at Saudi Arabian shipping giant Bahri and a spell as chief executive of Dubai’s Emarat Maritime. He started his career with Great Eastern Shipping in India and has also worked for Northern Marine Management and Stena.
In his new development role with IOMSR he will look to raise the registry’s profile and start conversations with ship owners and operators across the region.
Toby Brooks, deputy director of IOMSR, said: “We are delighted to have appointed someone of the calibre of Captain Rakesh to this new role, which will play an important role for our organisation as we continue on our growth journey. He is an accomplished marine professional and has a wealth of experience and key contacts in the region, built up over many years. That knowledge will be vital as we look to further develop our presence in this part of the world.”
IOMSR is one of the world’s leading flag states and is ranked 18th in the world by Clarkson’s, with around 300 ships totalling 12.5m gross tons under its flag.
