NorthStandard opens Asia HQ in Singapore

The new HQ shows the firm’s continued service post-merger.

Global marine insurer, NorthStandard, established a regional headquarters for Asia located in Singapore.

The maritime insurance provider said the new Asia headquarters symbolises its commitment to service and growth after the merger between North P&I and The Standard Club.

NorthStandard has prioritised maintaining customer relationships across the region as its top priority in establishing a unified P&I business that surpasses any other in Singapore.

The consolidated office is jointly led by David Roberts, former Managing Director of Standard Asia, and James Moran, former North Director of Singapore.

NorthStandard aims to utilise the expertise of in-house lawyers, master mariners, and engineers in loss prevention, claims, FD&D, and underwriting to enhance safety, sustainability, and security in Singapore's maritime sector.

By consolidating in Singapore, NorthStandard establishes a foundation for a regional approach to addressing the challenges of decarbonization, digitalization, regulation, and recruitment, said Roberts.

Its headquarters can be found at the former North address of Springleaf Tower, Anson Road.
