Idan Ofer's Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS) has appointed three new executives to lead its push into dual-fuelled ships and digitalisation.

The company said Claus Nehmzow will join in Singapore as chief innovation officer, Manoj Suri will be technical director and Chetan Sood becomes gas fleet manager.

The moves comes hot on the heels of EPS launching its EPS Accelerator tech start-up scheme, in tandem with US seed accelerator company Techstars, as well as contracting and chartering several LNG dual-fuel vessels.
