Shipping industry name Jens Martin Jensen has taken up the post of chief executive at Kyriakou family-controlled tanker owner Athenian Holdings.

The one-time Frontline Management CEO, who had previously been working as head of shipping with US-listed New Fortress Energy, moved into the hot seat at the Greek shipowner’s London office on 7 September.

He is being brought in to what is essentially a new management role to assist the Kyriakou family, which also has other media investments through the Antenna Group, in growing its shipping interests.
