Global Maritime Brings Eagle Lyon Pope (ELP) to Market

Global Maritime Consultancy & Engineering, a provider of offshore marine warranty, dynamic positioning and engineering services, has re-launched Eagle Lyon Pope (ELP), its ports and shipping, marine casualty investigation and loss adjusting division.
 
The move is in response to a growing demand for such services and will be headed by Peter Lyall, former head of Risk Insurance Services at Global Maritime. ELP will be based out of London with other offices in Hamburg, Abu Dhabi, Oslo, Houston and Singapore and will also be supported by Global Maritime’s extensive resources including mariners, engineers and other professional personnel.
 
As well as its broad portfolio of services and expertise, a key differentiator for ELP will be its partnership with emergency response provider Northcott Global Solutions (NGS), leading to a 24-by-7, 365 days a year emergency and multi-lingual hotline for all customers and immediate responses to casualties and incidents wherever they occur in the world.
