Skuld, the Norwegian-based marine insurance provider with an office in Bermuda, is opening a Japanese branch, Skuld Japan, in Tokyo.

Jinsung Son has been appointed head of Skuld Japan. Prior to joining Skuld in 2020, Mr Son spent 15 years at the Japan P&I Club, most recently as deputy general manager and team leader.

“Skuld has a firm commitment to a strategy of diversification and growth where results from commercial business contribute to mutuality,” Mr Hansen said.

“Further growth is underpinned by a strong underwriting discipline and a focus on quality tonnage, which makes Skuld a perfect fit for the Japanese shipping community.”
