Ivar Hansson Myklebust will soon complete six months in his new job as chief executive of tradition-rich car-carrier transporter Hoegh Autoliners, a company facing challenges because of depressed freight rates and overcapacity, and as a result of extensive investigations for price fixing.

Taking over from Ingar Skiaker at the car-carrier owner, he now also works for chairman Leif O Hoegh as a director of Leif Hoegh & Co, the Hoegh family’s holding company.
