Bajpaee handing over ceo role at BSM to Aschmann

Bajpaee handing over ceo role at BSM to Aschmann
Rajaish Bajpaee will pass on the role of ceo at Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM) to deputy ceo Norbert Aschmann and take up position of chairman at the end of the year.

Bajpaee, a man who took a philosophical view on the world of ship management and appiled to his day-to-day work, has been at BSM for over 27 years and will become non-executive chairman from 1 January 2015.

“Having worked in the industry for over 40 years and seen firsthand the evolution of third party shipmanagement from a fledgling business into the professional, highly respected industry that it is today, it is the appropriate time for me to take on a supporting role," Bajpaee commented.

“Norbert has progressive thinking with a keen eye on the future and a track record of effective leadership. Coming from a seafaring background, he brings a rich experience of third party shipmanagement with a ship owning perspective at senior management level.”

Aschmann added: “I am delighted to be taking over as ceo and would like to thank Rajaish for his support since I joined as Deputy ceo in October 2013. I firmly believe that our knowledge, experience and large pool of professional and committed personnel both ashore and on-board BSM-managed vessels provides many opportunities for future success."
