Badtiev, who joined SSY in May from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML), has returned to his native Russia, where he has joined energy company Rosneft’s gas business development department.

Prior to BAML, his career spanned time with RasGas in Qatar and Sakhalin Energy Investment Co for Shell.

‘Mutual consent’

James Palmer, SSY’s managing director of tankers, told TradeWinds that Badtiev’s exit was “by mutual consent”.
