Hans Feringa has left Stolt Tankers to become Team Tankers new president and CEO. He succeeds Jens Gronning, who has left the company. Mr Feringa will be based at Team Tankers office in Westport, Connecticut, from 1 September.
Appointed president of Stolt Tankers in 2007, one of his last acts as president was to introduce a major efficiency drive throughout the organisation, including the relocation of Stolt Tankers’ United States headquarters from Newark to Houston, bringing its owning, chartering and operations divisions together. At the time Mr Feringa said: “The transfer has seen a reduction in headcount. But it also allows us to be closer to the chemical industry. Along with the Arabian Gulf, the US is now a global hub for chemical production, which is good news in terms of tonne-mile demand.”
Team Tankers is a leading marine chemical tankers company, operating 40 tankers.
