The appointment of Petros Christodoulou’s to the board slot comes as director Nikolaos Syntychakis steps down at the diversified, US-listed shipowner.

Christodoulou was hired last week to replace Ioannis Lazaridis as both CEO and chief financial officer.

He joined after serving as deputy CEO and board member at the National Bank of Greece.

Christodoulou was appointed to the board by Capital GP, Capital Products’ general partner, which is controlled by chairman Evangelos Marinakis’ Capital Maritime & Trading.
