1. Charterama opens office in Hong Kong
Charterama is delighted to announce the launch of Charterama Asia Pacific Limited, Hong
Kong with effect from 1st
April 2014. This is a strategic development in developing
Charterama’s reach into the growing Asian market.

underwriting positions both within Skuld and Norwegian Hull Club. The Hong Kong office will
be a local presence continuing to deliver service to the Asian brokers and clients. Supported
by a strong partnership with leading marine insurer RSA, this move will leverage an already
strong Asian presence for both parties.
Lucien Lesuis, co-founder of Charterama commented “In our fifth successful year, we are
delighted to be expanding our Asian operations. The appointment of Powan Li is a real coup
for us as we continue to be the logical alternative to P&I Clubs. We are proud to be working
with such an experienced and skilled professional as Powan Li”. Lesuis continued, “This
marks a natural next step for us in our ambition to be the leading, specialist underwriters in
Charterers’ Liability.”
On her appointment, Powan Li commented: “I am delighted to have the opportunity to work
for Charterama, and humbly hope that this will contribute to the future business development
of Charterama.”
