SINGAPORE--()--ACE Group announced today the appointment of Captain Sivakumaran Divakaran (Captain Siva)as the new Marine Risk Manager for Asia Pacific.

In addition, he will play an active role within our established project cargo practice and multinational client division.

Captain Siva comes to ACE with over 20 years of shipping industry experience. Prior to joining ACE, Captain Siva was with Charles Taylor Marine, Malaysia, having joined them in 2006 as a Marine Surveyor and in 2008, was made their Principal Surveyor. During 2006-2015, he specialized in marine risk management through a spectrum of marine-related risk minimizing and prevention surveys, which included risk reviews for shipyard and ports.

As such, he has developed intimate knowledge of many complex freight movement tasks and ocean shipping risk exposures especially within Asian shipping environments.
