Commenting on the news, Henrik Zederkof, chief executive officer (CEO) said: "We must secure our position in the Asian region and look for further opportunities in this very important region. In order to achieve this, Managing Director of Dan-Bunkering (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., Morten Tranberg Mortensen, has been promoted to Head of Operations Asia, Senior Vice President and will in his new position join Dan-Bunkering’s management team.

"Morten will assume overall responsibility for the entire Asian region including the company’s two Chinese offices. I am convinced that Morten with his substantial experience in the shipping business and proven track record in sales, procurement and not least management is the ideal candidate to lead and develop Dan-Bunkering’s Asian business."

Dan-Bunkering has also made two further appointments, which it said was "to brace the company for the ever increasing competition in the marketplace".
