Well-known shipping figure Jens Martin Jensen has started a new job as head of shipping at Wes Edens-led New Fortress Energy in the US.

Jensen, who declined to comment, is understood to have started in his new job at the beginning of this month.

Last week, it was announced that Jensen had resigned from his role of the same name at Australia’s CNG-focused Global Energy Ventures to take up a new position with a "Nasdaq-listed integrated gas-to-power company" in Miami.
