Ilan Goldenberg has been in the shipping industry and, more specifically, in the marine insurance business for almost 40 years. He began as a marine insurance broker and then worked as a marine surveyor. For the last 35 years he has worked for the OFER/XT Group (XT Shipping) as the Insurance and Claims Manager.

 

During all these years Ilan has come across and dealt with all aspects of insurance and claims matters on owners’ behalf: crew incidents, various cargo claims for all kinds of ships, pollution and other P&I matters, GA, salvage and H&M claims.

 

For the last 10 years Ilan has also dealt with claims from a charterers’ perspective.

 

Over the years Ilan has met and worked with virtually everyone in the Israeli shipping community: ship’s agents, marine surveyors and insurance companies. He also knows key personnel in the Israeli Ministry of Transport, Shipping and Ports, the Israeli Marine Environmental Protection Office and the Port Authorities.

​

To take advantage of all of his work experience, network and knowledge Ilan has now established Harpaz P&I to provide the Clubs and their members with valuable service and assistance as a correspondent.
