Concurrent with Mr. Arntzen’s appointment, Mads Meldgaard will resign from his current role as Chairman and will continue on as a director. Mr. Meldgaard had been interim Chairman following the closing of the restructuring agreement in January.
“I am excited to join Team Tankers following their very successful financial restructuring and look forward to working with the Board, Senior Management and the employees of the Company worldwide to build a stronger and more prosperous shipping company,” said Mr. Arntzen.
Mr. Arntzen has been involved in the global shipping industry continuously since 1979 and has acted in a variety of capacities including banker, underwriter, advisor, investor, and chief executive officer.
