Idwal chose Singapore for its reputation as a world-pioneering maritime centre and strategic location at the heart of Asian shipping routes.

Idwal's expansion into Asia

Idwal's expansion into Asia is driven by strong demand for its pioneering vessel inspection

Idwal's expansion into Asia is driven by strong demand for its pioneering vessel inspection and grading services. The company's flagship offering, the Idwal Grade®, sets an industry benchmark for assessing vessel condition. Idwal's S&P inspections lead the market and their rigorous condition inspections enable ship owners to benchmark asset integrity across their fleet.

Idwal has already made several appointments in Singapore with Mr. Bobby Lee named as commercial manager. With deep roots in the Asian maritime community, Lee will spearhead Idwal's commercial growth across the region.

New levels of transparency

Additionally, Idwal Senior Marine Surveyor - Thom Herbert is relocating from the Cardiff HQ to help establish the strong technical standards for which the company is renowned. The Singapore team will also comprise further commercial, technical, operations and data analytics roles over the next eighteen months.

Nick Owens, Idwal's CEO, said: "Asia is central to our mission of bringing new levels of transparency to global shipping. Our Singapore hub gives us on-the-ground expertise to provide unmatched service levels to Asian owners and operators, and we look forward to cementing the Idwal Grade as the trusted standard for vessel condition in this fast-growing market."
