Rohit Bajaj

Rohit began his career at sea in 1991 and sailed on various types of oil and gas tankers, subsequently joining Shell in 2006. After completing seven years in command, Rohit moved ashore and began working as a Maritime Assurance Assessor for Shell Shipping & Maritime’s Assurance team in Singapore in 2011.

Rohit was part of the initial testing and rollout of Global Maritime Assurance System and the reorganisation team of the Time Charter Cell. He also led the project to adopt the global vetting manual’s alignment with regional procedures, keeping in mind the dynamic nature of regional shipping needs while being fully compliant with Group HSSE requirements.  
More recently he helped align regional management review processes with the latest industry guidelines and developed a tool that has now been accepted in the other regions as well. He supported Global DS maritime incidents and was the APME Incidents focal point. Passionate about diversity and inclusion, Rohit was also the D&I focal point and accredited facilitator for SIETCO and carried out learning sessions with staff on D&I topics.

He is a trained MS auditor, Associate Fellow of the Nautical Institute and holds an MBA degree in Shipping and Logistics.
