Bo Hansen will take over as managing director of panamax division Star Tankers.

Bo Hansen said on a Linkedin post last night: “Now official - thrilled to get started tomorrow!”

“Jesper has more than 20 years in the maritime industry with experience in management, strategic planning, investment, and business integration with a particular focus on projects,” Heidmar said.

He began his shipping career with AP Moller-Maersk and led Torm’s sale and purchase activity for three years before moving stateside in 2007 to head its Stamford office.

The fluent English, German and Danish speaker will be in charge of a fleet of almost 30 tankers.
