He said: “I’m incredibly excited to get started as the Global Head of Green Ports. This role is particularly exciting, as the decarbonisation challenge is a highly important, but complex and demanding task.

“I firmly believe this global issue is best tackled through a partnership approach, rather than each member of the supply chain ‘doing it alone’.

“My key objective in the new role is to create long-term, sustainable value together with our partners and work together to drive decarbonisation in the sector.”
