A shake-up of the board of Russian shipowner Sovcomflot (SCF Group) has seen veteran director David Moorhouse leave after 10 years.

The Russian state, as the main shareholder, has brought in seven new board members following the tanker and LNG carrier company's successful $550m Moscow initial public offering in October.

Moorhouse, 74, joined the board in 2010 and was one of two non-Russian directors.
