Danish executive Ejner Bonderup is back in the sector he loves, after taking time out to recharge his batteries.

The former XO Shipping boss has been appointed to lead Danish group Thornico's shipping operations, as chairman of subsidiary Thorco Projects.

Bonderup, who is also a former Lauritzen Bulkers and Norden head of dry cargo, will continue the diverse group's move from vessel ownership to asset-light chartering of tonnage.
