Synergy Group opens new office in Copenhagen
Growing demand from European shipowners for ship management services has prompted Synergy Group to open a new office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The new office, Synergy’s 13th worldwide, is headed by Rune Zeuthen, general manager, Synergy Marine (Europe).
Zeuthen joined Synergy Group in July and brings over two decades of executive level experience in the shipping industry. The industry veteran started his career with A.P. Moller-Maersk, was a founding member of DA-Desk and has previously held senior management positions at leading shipping companies including Topaz Energy & Marine, Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC, Maersk Broker and Clarksons. Most recently he was Teekay Shipping Corporation’s director, commercial management.
“Ship management is to a large extent a matter of trust and Synergy Marine has earned that throughout the shipping industry,” he said. “I am therefore confident that with our strong foundations and leading position in the market we can bring new success achievements to the company in Europe." (mw)
