Oman Shipping Co (OSC) will begin its push to become a major regional box player in September.

Michael Jorgensen, its chief financial officer and acting chief executive, has revealed to TradeWinds that the company has hired what he describes as a “very experienced container person” to turn its ambitious plan into reality.

Jorgensen himself was previously vice president of Maersk Line, so it would not come as a surprise if the new hire has been sourced from the Danish containership giant.
