“I have had the privilege to work with Jai on various marine and air pollution regulatory matters over the past twenty plus years. He is an excellent technical resource, a consensus builder and a practical problem solver.

Jai and I once worked closely on a significant regulatory matter relating to California Air Resource Board’s (“CARB”) low sulfur fuel requirements. His professional and holistic approach to that challenge together with his in-depth knowledge and “hands on experience” in vessel operations, gave him a credible and even formidable advantage in meeting and negotiating with CARB’s representatives. Jai’s technical knowledge, demeanor and uniquely positive leadership style quickly earned the respect and attention of the regulators which in turn led to a successful negotiation and favorable outcome. It is within this context and our many other successes that I was excited to learn that Jai had launched JM Marine Consulting Inc. He has my strongest possible endorsement and I very much look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”
