GC Rieber Shipping’s boss Irene Waage Basili will temporarily leave her post until a newly established joint venture with Rasmussengruppen finds a new chief executive.

The Oslo-listed owner said in an announcement that new company Shearwater GeoServices has been well received by the market and it is clear that the company needs a full-time chief executive and management.

Basili was appointed as interim boss of Shearwater on the date of the JV’s announcement in mid-October.
