LR strengthens offshore energy capability with APAC appointment

Based in Perth Western Australia, Mr Pattynama brings nearly 30 years of international experience spanning maritime, offshore energy and oil and gas. His appointment reinforces LR’s commitment to clients operating across offshore oil and gas, renewables, carbon capture and storage, and other emerging energy sectors.

Mr Pattynama joins LR from Australia’s offshore regulator, the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority, where he held executive leadership roles overseeing offshore safety, environmental management and regulatory assurance. Over his career he developed deep expertise across the vessel lifecycle, from design to extension and eventual decommissioning.

Mr Pattynama will deliver assurance, compliance, risk management and technical advisory services to help clients improve safety, reliability and operational performance.

LR global head of energy solutions Ian Crehan said, “Wouter’s appointment is an important investment in our offshore energy capabilities across Australia, New Zealand and the wider APAC region. His unique combination of operator, technical and regulatory experience is rare within the industry and will bring significant value to our clients.”
