“Maersk Tankers is going through a significant transition with our new ownership structure while we remain focused on delivering superior commercial performance enabled by digitisation. Morten’s leadership profile, with a combination of extensive financial insight and strategic focus, brings key capabilities to Maersk Tankers. His deep knowledge of the financial sector and proven ability to drive results and financial transparency are important as we are entering our next phase of growth,” says Christian M.
