Tina Revsbech has departed as chief executive of BW Tankers with the company in the midst of merger talks with Hafnia Tankers.

Revsbech took over at the tanker owner in 2015 as it prepared for an Oslo initial public offering that was subsequently aborted and her exit was confirmed by BW Group today.

“BW and Tina parted ways very amicably and we are grateful for her leadership when she was with us," a spokesperson for the Singapore headquartered group said in response to questions from TradeWinds.
