Danish history
He spent five years at Evergas. Before that he was responsible for Norden's charter, sale and purchase and newbuilding activity on the tanker side of the business.
This followed a stint as managing director of Maersk Broker in the US.
B-Gas was formed in 2011 after Norway's Bergshav Management, Lorentzens Skibs and a group of other Norwegian shipping investors fronted by Pareto World Wide Shipping bought Eitzen Gas and its fleet.
Last year, B-Gas appointed Andreas Hannevik as managing director following the departure of Kim Kristensen.
Hannevik was chief financial officer of Bergshav Group, which owns 51% of B-Gas, and he continued in this role.
