On behalf of the ECSA Board president Niels Smedegaard warmly welcomed the incoming secretary general, referring to his “strong expertise and experience in global shipping policy matters.”
“ECSA will continue to play a pro-active role in important topics such as the reduction of CO2-emissions of shipping while at the same time safeguarding and strengthening the business climate in Europe for shipping,” pledged Dorsman, who takes up his new position on 1 November.
