Former Euronav chief executive Paddy Rodgers has made a return to shipping, taking a seat on the V.Group board.

The experienced tanker man will have a non-executive role at the UK shipmanager.

Rodgers led Euronav for almost 20 years, before taking the market by surprise in February 2019 by resigning.

By last June, he had taken a job as the director of London's Royal Museums Greenwich, which comprise the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark sailing ship, the National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House art gallery.
