Emanuele Grimaldi at the helm of ICS
The board of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), which represents 80% of the world’s merchant fleet, has appointed Emanuele Grimaldi (left), president and managing director of Grimaldi Euromed, as chairman of the board.
Grimaldi, a former president of both Confitarma and the European Community Shipowners Association (Ecsa), was formally voted in as chair by the ICS board of directors, following the announcement of his nomination last year.
Alongside ICS secretary general Guy Platten, his mandate will include working to find private and public solutions to a range of issues facing the sector. He succeeds current chair, Esben Poulsson (right), executive chairman Enesel, who is stepping down after having served for three terms of office as ICS chair since 2016. (cj)
