Our Story
edwin pang
Founder and Principal Consultant of Arcsilea. He specialises in strategic, regulatory and technical aspects for GHG and CO2 Emissions, EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) Requirements, Carbon Intensity Indicators, as well as alternative fuels such as hydrogen and methanol.
Member of the Board of Trustees and the Chairman of the IMO Committee at the Royal Institution of Naval Architects. Chartered Naval Architect (C.Eng), who regularly speaks on safety and environmental issues surrounding the maritime industry.
He works in partnership with a range of industry players: trade associations, design consultancies, shipyards, regulatory bodies, membership organisations, as well as the European Commission and NGOs.
Arcsilea was founded by Edwin Pang in 2018 in order to focus his consulting work in his main areas of interest: value of lives at sea & the environmental footprint of maritime activities. After 18 years as a Naval Architect with several top consultancies, Ed was increasingly convinced of a need to be an objective advocate of technical issues in the ongoing safety & environmental dialogue within the industry. He decided to build a startup to devote his time helping businesses align their commercial interest with the bigger picture of the safety & environmental agenda.
