Snorre Schie Krogstad has resigned from his position as financial head at Awilco LNG after almost six years.

The company said in a brief statement that Krogstad decided to depart in order to "pursue other career opportunities".

Krogstad, who joined Awilco LNG from Camillo Eitzen in August 2011, will remain with the company until 30 September to ensure continuity.

Awilco LNG said: “We would like to thank Snorre for good work during the years with the company and wish him the best in his new endeavours.”
