Paull, who joins the company from subsea technology developer Sonardyne International, has been appointed to further develop Chelsea Technologies as a market leader in environmental sensing technology across a variety of industry sectors, and particularly in maritime where the regulatory landscape of today is creating significant challenges for shipowners and operators, the company explained.
Her appointment comes at a time when accurate monitoring for greater transparency, efficiency and compliance is increasingly vital for the international shipping industry, as stringent environmental regulations become more widespread.
In particular, Chelsea’s expertise in portable ballast water testing and accurate scrubber washwater monitoring has seen a notable growth in demand in recent months, as shipowners and regulators prepare for managing compliance with some of the most significant actions of legislation to impact the industry in recent history.
