Sean Murphy to Lead ABL Maritime in North America
ABL has appointed marine professional Sean Murphy as Regional Managing Director to head up its North American maritime division.
A seasoned naval architect and marine engineer with extensive project management and survey experience, Sean will lead the delivery of ABL’s consultancy, loss prevention and loss management services for maritime clients, across the USA and Canada.
Based between Boston and New York, Sean will oversee ABL’s coast-to-coast surveyor footprint, maintaining the company’s market leading support to Hull & Machinery (H&M) and Protection & Indemnity (P&I) claims.
