V.Group has appointed ex-Teekay Shipping executive John Adams to run V.Ships UK.

The shipmanagement giant said Adams brings a wealth of experience from 30 years at Teekay, most recently holding the position of managing director, Glasgow, and chair of the operational leadership team.

"In his time at Teekay, John played a key leadership role during Teekay’s growth, integrating acquisitions into the expanding fleet operations," it said.
