GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Erik Lewenhaupt will take over as CEO of
Concordia Maritime on 1 January 2022.
Erik succeeds Kim Ullman, who has
informed the Board of his wish to step down as CEO and
retire.
Erik Lewenhaupt has a long track
record in tanker shipping. He started his tanker career at
Nordström & Thulin in 1996, and was later recruited to Stena
Bulk, where he was tanker chartering manager in both Gothenburg and Singapore. His most recent position has been
Head of Sustainability at Stena Line, where he has been
instrumental in transforming Stena's ferry services into one of the
transport sector's most sustainable operations.
Erik takes over from Kim Ullman,
who was involved in starting and establishing Stena's tanker
shipping business, now Stena Bulk and Concordia Maritime.
Kim Ullman has been both influential
and instrumental in several crucial transactions. In addition to
his position as Vice President of Stena Bulk for many years, Kim
has also been CEO of Stentex, Head of Stena Bulk's Houston office and CEO of Stena LNG and Stena
Weco. For the last eight years, he has been CEO of Concordia
Maritime.
"After 45 years in the shipping business, Kim Ullman has decided to retire. Kim is
recognised in the market as a skilled and driven "shipping man" and
as such has made important contributions in a cyclical and at times
challenging market. We will miss Kim's drive, market insight and
friendship," says Carl-Johan
Hagman, Chairman of the Board of Concordia Maritime, who
goes on to say:
"It is really exciting to be able to welcome Erik Lewenhaupt back to tanker shipping. Erik
has extensive experience in both tanker shipping and sustainability
- two key areas as we look ahead. We wish him success in navigating
the cyclical and volatile tanker market from his new
position."
