I’m pleased to have recently completed a successful visit to Naples and Rome. In Naples, Grimaldi Group invited me to provide a three day course detailing US regulations while also completing several security drills, incident case studies and a Crisis Management Course. Their team performed exceptionally well. In Rome, I was joined by our Director of Technical Services, Ryan Allain, and MTI’s Public Relations specialist, William Marks. Together, we held a one day seminar for all of our compliance partners in Italy. 🇮🇹. Thank you all for joining in what was a very informative meeting along with great networking. Great food, colleagues and friends made for a great experience. We look forward to returning again in 2025! On to Asia in early June!

I have just finished my first visit to China. I was fortunate enough to have been with our Chinese representive and now good friend, Mr Glory Gu, who represents GMS China out of Dalian. Glory introduced me to many GMS clients in both Shanghai and Xiamen. These are beautiful cities filled with warm and welcoming people. I sincerely enjoyed the food, scenery (visited Shanghai Tower over 2k feet high!) and culture but none of that topped the people. Many thanks to Glory for his guidance and to the many new client and business acquaintances I made last week. Enjoy some of the photos of the places and people I was fortunate enough to see. I hope you can too. Many thanks Glory. Now on to Tokyo!

Just concluded the second week of my trip to Asia and now leaving Tokyo for home. It was a busy and very productive week. My colleague and Manager of GMS Japan operations, Ms. Maiko Tahara and I visited nearly 15 compliance partners in three days to update them on the progress of the integration of ECM Maritime Services with Gallagher Marine Systems. It was a pleasure to see them all while enjoying their hospitality and insightful questions. Dinners, great company and the beautiful scenery in Tokyo were bonuses! We are looking forward to returning to Japan in early June for our seminars. Many thanks to Tahara-san who guided me through our many appointments for which I am very appreciative. She is an excellent resource to our compliance partners in Japan and we are thrilled to have her on our team! Back home to get ready for the next trip!
