Bergen-based shipbroker Joachim Grieg & Co is set to recruit Finn Engelsen Jr as new managing director.

Engelsen, who previously headed compatriot broker Lorentzen & Stemoco (L&S), is set to join early in the autumn.

The fifty-three-year-old joined L&S in 1996 and was managing director from 2002 to 2009.

Grieg declines to comment on the matter but TradeWinds understands it is part of plans to expand Joachim Grieg, which last year set up both a gas and a tanker department, and is set to shortly confirm new projects.
