MCC Transport, the Maersk Line-backed intra-Asia liner operator, is set for new top management in the summer.

Chief executive Tim Wickman is set to leave the company on 1 August 2017 to “seek opportunities outside of AP Moller Maersk”.

His departure marks the end of a nine year stint in charge of the Singapore-liner company and a 27 year associated with the AP Moller Maersk Group.
