Thomas Eskesen elected chairman
The Join the Move to –15°C Coalition has appointed Thomas Eskesen, a renowned refrigerated cargo expert, as new chairman, as it continues to bolster its member base, with five new industry players pledging their support for a move to -15°C.
The coalition, which was initiated by the global logistics firm DP World in 2023, is an industry-wide alliance that aims to redefine frozen food temperature standards to reduce emissions, cut supply chain costs and secure food resources for the world’s growing population.
Eskesen brings over 35 years of experience, having held several leadership positions at Maersk, including a decade as vice president, head of reefer and special cargo. In this role he helped shape the company’s business strategies and oversaw asset planning, product development, and innovation. (cj)
