Former BW Group CEO Carsten Mortensen has resigned from another board as part of his exit.

Group company BW LPG said on Monday the executive had quit with immediate effect.

He will cease to be a member of the company's remuneration committee.

Board member Martha Kold Bakkevig has been appointed a member of the committee to replace him.

Mortensen said in September he was standing down as group CEO to spend more time with his family.
