"During the transition, we will remain squarely and resolutely committed to the delivery of industry-leading service to our customers, partners, seafarers and all of those who rely on us. Our succession planning and transitional steps have been designed to ensure there are no interruptions to service levels,” he added.

This is a landmark strategic move to mark our 30th anniversary year, to build on our rock-solid foundations and take the company to the next level."
