Pierre Dincq has confirmed he has been named chief commercial officer of Antwerp-based Conti7 group.

His new role emerged after TradeWinds reported earlier this month that Dincq, 55, was to step down as head of shipping for Nicolas Saverys-led gas carrier company Exmar after 32 years.

Dincq said he is “very excited to start working for this great company”.

Board member status

He has been a board member of the company for the past two years and will remain so going forward.
