UK P&I Club opens Rotterdam office

The UKNV Rotterdam office is located in the World Port Center and the management board based in Rotterdam comprises Hugo Wynn-Williams as chief executive officer, Paul van den Brom as chief financial officer and Rene Doff as chief risk officer.

The UKNV Supervisory Board consists of five members – two local members and three from the UK (Europe) Board and Members’ Committee. They are Onno Paymans (chairman), Nicholas Inglessis, Bert van der Weide, Jan Valkier and Paul Wogan.

Hugo Wynn-Williams said: “We have been assiduous in our planning to ensure the UK P&I Club, together with other Thomas Miller managed clubs, are able to continue our European operations once the UK leaves the EU. With the expected loss of passporting rights, we have put these plans in place to ensure our members can continue to conduct their business with little or no disruption.”

Andrew Taylor, chief executive of Thomas Miller P&I, said: “Our Rotterdam subsidiary will be a fully functioning office to ensure our members continue to receive the same excellent standard of service they are accustomed to.”

UKNV has recruited staff to additional support roles and the office is operational.
