TMC Marine promotes Simon Burthem
Leading international marine consultancy TMC Marine, a subsidiary of Bureau Veritas (BV), has appointed Simon Burthem as its new chief executive officer (CEO). He takes over from Stephen Tierney, who is retiring from his full-time role after 32 years with TMC Marine.
Burthem has been promoted to CEO after four years as chief operating officer (COO). A degree qualified naval architect, he joined TMC Marine in 2010 and previously held the post of managing director of TMC’s Singapore operations for eight years before being appointed COO.
TMC Marine provides marine consultancy to shipowners, insurers, charterers, law firms, cargo interests and stakeholder authorities. Burthem said that a key aspect of his vision for the company was to target further geographic growth, particularly in its Asian and Oceanic division. (cj)
