Former Maersk executive Thomas Soderberg is replacing Jens Martin Jensen as head of shipping at ambitious new owner Global Energy Ventures (GEV).

Ex-Frontline boss Jensen was appointed a non-executive director at GEV in 2018 as it developed a $1.2bn order for up to eight new compressed natural gas (CNG) ships in China.

Soderberg will join as a non-executive director from 1 September.
