BIMCO has appointed Jakob Larsen as its new head of maritime security to replace Phil Tinsley, who is leaving the Denmark-based international shipping association.
He will lead BIMCO’s efforts in developing its guidance to the industry and ensuring that BIMCO and its members are at the forefront of maritime security developments.
“Jakob P. Larsen’s skillset and experiences can lift BIMCO’s work on maritime security to the next level," said Angus Frew, BIMCO secretary general and chief executive.
Larsen has held several positions with the Royal Danish Navy, including commander in the Danish Defence Staff and at the Danish Ministry of Defence.
He entered the civilian workforce as a maritime adviser for BIMCO for three years before holding security positions with Nordic Tankers and Maersk Line.
