Benito jumps from Lloyd’s Register to ship manager Wallem

Lloyd’s Register stalwart Luis Benito has left the classification society he has worked at for 32 years to join Hong Kong-based ship management giant Wallem.

Benito has been appointed as Wallem’s business development and marketing director, a role that will see him report directly to Wallem group chief executive John Rowley, who previously had an eight-year spell at Lloyd’s Register.
